[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdkmezz:
Hey,

I'm wondering if the hero can play radio content from bbc iplayer website? I've heard that there are performance issues with videos on iplayer, but is radio OK?

(By the way, I know about the beebplayer app, which is great for video, but AFAIK doesn't play radio shows from iplayer, the only radio it had on the version I looked at is live radio. So I'm asking about listening to iplayer radio shows using the iplayer website.)

If anyone in the UK want's to try this out for me that'd be great. Here's a link to a radio show from yesterday, so if this works hopefully everything will:

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00s35z1

(I'm a new user so can't post links, that should have a "www" at the start of it really.)

Oooh, also, could someone check out whether this works on the hero:

news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8633000/8633988.stm

It's another clip of radio from the bbc, but looks completely different from iplayer, so could be using a different tech for all I know. (This is how they include audio clips in their news articles, including on the Today program's site where they have all the interview from each show listenable individually, which is pretty handy.)

Thanks!

Tried listening to 1xtra from the iplayer website yesterday,... No sound played.

Trying your links now though,... give me a few minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I have just tried your first link in the stock browser.

Results are as follows:

- loading

- loading seems to freeze

- loading again

- loaded details of show (no sound yet)

- seems as though its trying to play but keeps refreshing its little window

Error - "Insufficient bandwidth to play"

This could be as I only have 2 bar 3g or following BBC's guidance you need wifi connection.

It looks like it wants to work though so if someone can test with a wifi connection.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Nope,... Im trying with wi-fi,... No luck though. The 1st link loads up correctly, says its playing, but there is no sound and the time counter does not change.

Was the same using my data connection yesterday.

I'll try the 2nd one now,.... Dont get your hopes up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Nope,.... Sorry,... Its a no go.

Just keeps loading, and loading,.... and loading!!!!

EDIT,....... Tried with Opera and says need to install Flash player,.... DAMIT!!!! All i want to do is listen to 1xtra,... and BeebPlayer doesn't work for me. Maybe we'l get a better browser with 2.1,.... or we'll have to hold out for Skyfire to be released.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdkmezz:
That sucks. Thanks for trying though, and for the very speedy replies :)

Hello people

My Desire was connecting fine to my PC yesterday and I could access the SD card but now when I try it says device not recognized. I tried reinstallin HTC sync and driver but same problem and have also restarted PC and phone. Im on Windows 7 64bit.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
anyone??

this is driving me crazy
[Desire General] maximini1:
But once you connect your phone via USB to PC, on phone screen it will show 4 items of connections, did you choose the one of storage card??
[Desire General] daesimps:
I'm also having issues with HTC Sync.

It normally connects fine and syncs with Outlook OK. Every now and again (about twice a day) it will show the "charging" icon when plugged into the USB port (on any computer) but not recognise the fact that it's connected via USB. The "connection options" dialog isn't even accessible.

If I reboot the phone it immediately connects and starts working, so I know it's not a PC issue. It's like the phone thinks it's connected via a charging cable and not a full USB data cable even though it's the cable that came with the phone.

[Desire General] Hexjibber:
I'm having this exact same problem, would rather not have to reboot the phone every time I want to access the SD card via the PC as I do it quite a lot!

Anyone know of a fix? Or is there a way of bringing up the 'Connection Options' dialog as I can't seem to find it anywhere on the phone, only the Connect to PC options which lets you set the default mode it's supposed to go into when connecting via USB :(

Hi all !

I have seen a video of the new htc HD mini and it has a cal hystory button just under the calendar button ( the style is the very same ! ), I think that this is very useful, is there any change to bring this in manila 2.5 wvga ( the one of the HD2 to be mre precise ! ) ?
[HD2 General] reebokman:
If you want "Call history" under "no new appointments" just use Co0kie's home Tab. In CHT Editor you can set to always show call history and for example hide permanently Calendar. Try it.
[HD2 General] light_n_roses:
could you please link me it ? anyway I would like to only add callhystory windows without touch all the rest..
[HD2 General] light_n_roses:
mhm I have checked Co0kie's home Tab but it completly change manila aspect I only would like to have the call hystory icon that's it !
[HD2 General] the_cool:
You can keep everything the same, just keep the settings for 3x3 quicklinks, 1 page only, the call history tab always showing as you want it, dont enable the CHT lockscreen. and dont move anything around on the home tab!

Just go throught the settings and keep it all to match the stock look, and just enable your call history tab. Actually coming to think about it, there might not be space for it with the first 3 quicklinks showing. but thats the only gripe. maybe if you change the clock to the one without the weather details showing, then you can fit it in.

Hi,

I've got a little problem with my Desire. I've got an alarm going off almost every day. If I dismiss the alarm it actually snoozes for 10 minutes and then goes off again, i've to redismiss it to cancel the alarm. Someone experienced the same? Maybe someone got a solution :D

Thanks,

[Desire General] vdude_1:
Can't say I've had the problem myself but I usually swipe from further up the screen to avoid the snooze button, maybe half way up the screen. I've assigned snooze to the side buttons so it's easier to use that too.
[Desire General] daesimps:
I do that too and she's not happy - I get up at 5:00 am. I thought it was me reaching for the phone and catching the snooze button but maybe not.

I'll tell her it's not me but a bug with the phone.

It's only happened to me the once, so I assume I DID hit snooze rather than dismiss.

I linked the contact to facebook on the X10 and it hasn't downloaded the picture so was wondering if it should have done or not. So please go and troll elsewhere.

I typically get the car dock overheat situation that I read about in the forums EXCEPT for this morning. Last night I unplugged the car dock from outlet after I shut off the car. This morning I connected my phone to the dock, forgot it was unplugged, plugged it in a minute later after it was already docked. I saw the charging icon and proceeded to drive into work (20 minute drive) with 3G only, Google Navigation on & StreamFurious on which typically gets my Nexus really hot (around 104). When I took it out it was cold to the touch. :confused: I checked the SetCPU widget and it was 87.5 degrees!

Google offers free satnav uk android users

Finally arrives at its destination

By Lawrence Latif

Wed Apr 21 2010, 12:04 ALL SEEING EYE Google has released its mobile navigation tool to Brits who have Android devices, putting further pressure on satnav vendors.

The ad broker has enabled turn-by-turn GPS navigation on all devices running version 1.6 or later of its Android operating system. The system had been available only in the US until now.

The service works with Google Maps, and while previously navigation was possible, this is the first time that free turn-by-turn GPS based navigation has tipped up on its mobile platform. As the firm has been maturing its Maps service for some time, several 'overlays' are available allowing the user to view traffic, points of interest and, where available, Streetview.

In our far from exhaustive tests, we found that a number of residential streets don't have Streetview-level data, however this is likely to change as Google's thirst for information fills any gaps. By far the biggest problem currently is the 'on-demand' nature of map dat, which means you are at the whim of mobile operators and their typically poor data networks. It is likely that Google will have to employ some form of caching system in order to speed things up, as map data downloading on anything other than 3G networks will be too slow while driving.

For all its faults we have to remember that this is a free service meaning that the traditional satnav providers' business model is at risk. Like most of Google's products, Navigation is in beta and at times it does show, with lag in navigating the user interface being the most visible issue. However, given that Tomtom's Iphone app costs £55, it's hard to see many users putting down that much cash when there's a pretty decent alternative available for free.

Google's navigation service can be accessed by Android mobile users in the phone's "car home" application, with no additional download required. Satnav vendors might well have to think up new ways of flogging the same old kit if they want to stay on the road. µ

Those of you who don't know how to use it, open up maps -> click menu button -> hit directions option -> punch in some directions -> hit go -> click navigate!
[Desire General] kuailan:
I dont know if anyone know this...with GOOGLE MAP, you will need a plan with internet connection. Good thing about other GPS application like TomTom and Garmin is that you can use them straight away with the GPS built-in regardless of internet connection. In some countries internet data are still quite expensive. How I wish google map can work even without internet. By the way, I dont really understand why Google only release the navigation feature only in UK or the US. They should have them available in major countries.

[Desire General] maxitup:
just go into settings-manage applications-and remove the app.
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
cheers bro :D
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I believe it is to do with the licensing of the map data.

In the US, Google supplies its own maps - this can be witnessed by bringing up map of a US location and it will say that the map is (c) Google. Do the same in the UK, and you will see that the maps are (c) Teleatlas.

Therefore, outside the US, Google will have to licence the maps for use with turn-by-turn navigation. Presumably it has to do this on a region by region basis, and they've just done this for the UK.

Dave

Eh? There are no links in my message at all! Maybe the kernel versions which I included below is being detected erroneously as a URL? I'll snip it and try again. Back to the original message...

*****

I have tried searching and browsing the forums, but haven't found exactly what I need to know.

I've been waiting (very patiently) for an Android 2.1 ROM to be released for my phone. I tried to ask HTC Support when it might be available, but they just said 'check the website'.

I'm toying with the idea of rooting the phone, but am a bit undecided. I am interested in what the security risk is of rooting the phone. Doesn't this give root access to any application which I install?

Is there a custom ROM which will work on my HTC Hero, on Orange UK? If there's more than one, which would you recommend?

Currently my phone has the following versions listed:

Firmware version 1.5

Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Kernel version 2.6.27-8dd6eee [kernel details snipped]

Build number 2.73.61.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

Software version 1.0.0.A6288

Thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Hopefully updates will start to be rolled out beginning 26th April,... HOPEFULLY!!!

Indeed it does give root access to all apps you install,... and you are quite right to be worried about security issues. However these risks can be minimised. Only install apps after doing abit of reading up, making sure other users aren't experiencing major issues. Also create nandroid backups (just like creating system restore points on a PC) regularly, so if you run into problems you can roll back to when you were fine.

Any ROM for GSM HTC HEROs will work fine. I highly recomend MCR3.2 (see link in my signature). It is a rooted, tweaked Android 1.5 ROM. It is extremely fast and stable. I'd use that until a stable custom Android 2.1 ROM has been released.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
One more thing,... Some Orange handsets can be awkward little buggers!!!!

Use BTDAG's guide (link in sig) to try and install the custom recovery console. This may fail as some Orange ROMS are known to be locked down. If this is the case with your phone, you will need to downgrade your ROM.

Gi'me a shout if you need any help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mtdnelson:
Thanks for your help.

I think you're probably right about the locked Orange ROM -- I have read about other people having the same problem and I do have a fairly new ROM installed.

I'm sure I'll be ok, as long as the instructions are well-written!

Ok I see. The thing that worries me mostly isn't the risk of losing data, but the risk of someone stealing identity/financial data from my phone, maybe by means of hidden malicious code in an app... Still, that could already be happening. Maybe I just need to be more careful in general.

I won't ask more questions yet... I'll go read those pages you suggested.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
I used the flashrec method of rooting on my orange handset, can't remember what rom I was on though at the time.

Definitely root its the way forward. Once you go android 2.1 (on a good custom rom) you will never want to go back to 1.5.

Once you have root all (or most) custom roms come with SuperUser.apk which is an app that controls root permissions in apps, you can deny it, grant it, grant it once etc... you get the drift so it can be controlled.

You don't have to worry about security too much.
