Ok. The question was not what your device id is, its a question of what your device id should be, which is a bb pin. (*which might I add since you keep saying Device ID, has no relevance to anything in your HTC HERO Phone, it is just a entry field label on BES for entering your BB PIN #)

Good luck trying to get it to work. Lol.. You're trying to tell a Network Admin and Sprint Tech (me) that I know nothing of, something I use everyday...

Now that I am at work not on my phone... You can use your HTC Device ID all you want.. But it means nothing.. Obviously, since it doesn't work as of now, does it? You need to have the BB "device ID" , which is if you had any sense to you at all, very apparent, as I've told you a thousand times already that it is the BB PIN.. Those are on a whitelist and to access BES your device has to be on that list, and activated through a carrier, with the attached SOC code for the BES plan..

You can access from your work, not because it passes some *firewall*, but because it bypasses BES because you are logging directly into the Exchange Server, through the local network, and that is nothing new, any business with BES is set up exactly the same.. To access your Exchange Server from home, your company uses the BES Gateway, and to use that, you have to have access to BES. And without the SOC code from your service, a BB PIN registered on the Blackberry Network, and the correct settings for your exchange server, you cannot access your email.

So next time, before you start throwing insults and acting like you know anything, at least have the key terms down... Just because the IT guy at work threw some terms around at you, doesn't mean you know anything..

You ask for help with something you obviously know nothing about, and then act like you have answers. And two people even told you, that whatever you think you are dealing with, they have never heard of before.. (a firewall that blocks anything but blackberries??? I mean really?)

You sir are an incompetent clown.

*edit.. I have also been looking all morning for anything that would even suggest that you have any idea of what you are talking about, and there are 4 HTC WinMO devices(TOUCH's and the TYTNII) that you can download a program that allows access for those specific HTC models.. Nothing else..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Ok, lets stop the name calling.

To the OP: Am I correct in assuming you've asked the Exchange Admins to add the Hero device ID and they denied the request? If so, then don't mind me. It seemed like the logical first step.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cooolone2:
I haven't read the bill which passed (yet) but I will... Just a few notes.

The Bill has passed both Senate and House versions, it is NOT law yet, but probably will be soon. I see some issues though with the terms being somewhat Vague. Yes, it will be nice that telemarketers and such will no longer being able to hide, but INTENT is a big glaring need which has to be addressed. I mean, come on... There are PERFECTLY legitimate reasons for not wanting to give your number to someone or to give the impression you are calling from a number, i.e., masking your location.

(Honey, I'm at my friend John's house playing cards, be home late tonight)... Lmao...

To make this type of instance a Federal Crime is just "out of this world ridiculous". Big Brother on Steroids... Or what one Judge said recently, that "those who seek anonymity are only doing so for Illegal purposes". NOT!!!... So I wonder then is Ghost writers can be arrested and pseudonyms result in a 10 year stint... Come on... What next? E-mails must be your name? How about that Federal Registry/I.D. #, hell, why don't we just use our Social Security number for everything??? Forget Credit cards, bank accounts, etc...

But anyway, welcome to the New U.S. of A... where all you get to do is breathe without it being tracked, watched, cataloged, traced, recorded, stored, etc., all without your knowledge, permission or ability to resist.

Who was it that said: "Just because I'm paranoid - doesn't mean they aren't watching me!"... ;)

:cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdlumley:
You obviously do not know squat about exchange servers, corporate networks, etc... if you have not heard of ISA. ISA is a popular firewall, which my company uses with the exchange server. ISA can and is configured to manage access to certain phone models based off Device ID. All of the allowed devices IDs are BlackBerry IDs. I know for a fact my problem has nothing to do with BlackBerries using a BES. Remember, I have access on wifi, just not remotely and my friends on the exchange team confirmed this for me. ;)

I work in IT but do not manage the exchange/ISA servers. Even if I did, our environment would require a change control for a change like this. We have asked to have our device IDs added to access the exchange server but the change committee has not decided yet if they will grant it. Again you would know nothing about these things as you are a Sprint techie.

I'm not on these boards with the intention of being rude and name calling as you are. I am sorry I lowered my standards and insulted you; I just can't stand ignorant people that think they know everything when really most everything they say/type is false. I simply created this topic in search of a way to change my device ID. I do not care if it is unlawful, wrong, yadda, yadda, yadda. If you or anyone else that reads this knows how to do this, please respond.

To the fellow that suggested Nitro Touchdown. I tried this software but it only allows you to spoof your client agent ID. ISA is configured by Device ID. Thanks for the suggestion but no luck there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I never said I had never heard of ISA.. I said there's not a firewall that only blocks non-blackberries.. You can block whatever you want with firewalls, its not a feature that it blocks blackberries..

I am telling you the answer, even with ISA, the problem you are having is, the option on the admin side of ISA, is to allow all devices, to allow all devices from BES, or to allow user privileges. There is no button for blackberry/HTC/Apple.. You cannot access the server because you cannot pass through BES without a PIN..

I did no name calling, read back, you stooped there yourself pretty harshly, and I am still helping you... [mirror]

LISTEN- You can connect on your work's wifi, because it is directly accessing the server from an IP on the LOCAL NETWORK.. When you connect to the server on your phone through the mobile network, you are accessing from the PUBLIC DOMAIN.. Which from your explanations, indicates that they allow access only through BES... Since "it only allows blackberries"...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] comintern:
Changing your device ID (if even possible) is going to create more problems than it solves. You basically have 2 options for the device ID:

1 - Change the stored device ID in the handset. This will break all kinds of functionality as every single call the OS makes to getDeviceID() will return an invalid value. My guess is that no applications are coded to respond correctly to a BB device.

2 - Only use a different device ID in the email software. This would require you to write a custom application to get Exchange support.

If you can connect with a desktop PC via VPN, you might want to take a look at RoadSync -- it provides Exchange access over VPN via a proxy server. I believe the current version only has support through 1.6, so if you're running 2.1 you may have to roll back your rom to install it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdlumley:
.....

LOL

At least your last comment makes sense, but as I stated earlier, I have confirmed with the administrators that my phone is being blocked at the firewall by Device ID and that BlackBerries are passing through the firewall because their Device IDs are allowed. We use 6 different models of BlakcBerries, so it took a whole 60 seconds to type the 6 device IDs into the rule to allow them. Again, I do not care to debate if the issue lies within the use of a BES because I already know the answer.

The answer I am looking for is how to change/spoof my Device ID.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdlumley:
Thank you for the suggestion. I do admit that I do not know what the adverse effects would be if I could actually change the device ID of the phone, but I wouldnt mind experimenting. :D Also, I have setup VPN on my phone to connect that way. It works but I want push email/calendar without sitting on VPN all day everyday.

I thought it was something that would be easy to modify on a rooted phone but maybe it isn't, or maybe none of the DEVs have look at this post.... o well :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] comintern:
RoadSynch should be direct push within it's own client -- the proxy handles all the VPN for you. May be worth taking a look at, I think they have a free trial.

I can't post a direct URL (post count), just Google "roadsynch android", first result.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I just did this just to see what would come up.. Google search "DEVICE ID and BES".. read just the description on the Wiki Link..

It is not "DEVICE ID" in the literal sense as you think. No HERO200 accesses.. BLACKBERRY PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, or BB PIN is interchangeable with your "DEVICE ID".. They are allowing based on a specific ID number from each blackberry device.

When I said User Privileges, you have to set manual access, who can connect to what per specific privileges based on each user's BB PIN number through BES.. Which they have to use as a gateway from the unknown web space which you are in, to their secure server space... And would require much more than your 6 entries...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Or most of the DEVs have no idea what craziness you are speaking.. Ever thought about that?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdlumley:
Once again, my question has nothing to do with BES.

It could be craziness, but its worth asking.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daviss:
Wow, this thread has gotten way out of hand and way off topic.

azyouthinkeyeiz, you are 100% incorrect and not even close to talking about anything that jdlumley is asking. In fact, I don't know that you are aware of what you are talking about.

jdlumley - I am looking into it. Like I said earlier, you can do this with Nitro Touchdown. In the advanced tab there is an option to change the ActiveSync Device Type. I am looking to see how this works and where the current device type comes from.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdlumley:
thanks. let me know if you find out any additional info.

Ok! it's over a year now that I'm trying to fix this issue (at spare time only) one of my hermes doesn't like to talk usb. It charges fine but no data.

I got 2 hermes and 2 kaisers all fine so it's not down to computers.

I have downgraded the rom to stock original and used few cooked roms also hard SPL olipro first and then one day no more USB.

So from that day I all I tried is to re flashing from sd card again using many stock roms and radios and cooked roms but the USB simply never give a sign... The only thing I have not done is trying to reflash an hard SPL by sd card but I don't know if it's possible... any one can suggest me anything? It's not urgent as you can see it's just because I hate to things broken and most important I hate to not be able to fix something.

I really think it's software problem and not hardware (but I can be wrong here) I would love to ear suggestions.

PS.

Bluetooth sync OK

Saluti
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Not sure why you are so sure it's software not hardware. If different ROMs have been tried and the problem remains then it's probably hardware.

I'd try it on other PCs that have not been previously used to sync any of your other phones and if they show the same result then I'd be even more tempted to believe it's a hardware issue.

Does Active Sync start on connection to the PC?

Have you tried starting the AS program manually on the device?

Are all the necessary parts of AS present? (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1216804&postcount=1 )

The above having been checked and OK then I would be looking for hardware issues; starting with the obvious:

1

Bent pin in socket (Check with a magnifying glass or loupe

2

Cracked solder joints on the pins at the rear of the socket connecting to the motherboard.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] digitaly:
Thank you for replying.

I should try all those steps this weekend.

The reason is because I have not used that phone a great deal. I was just testing some roms on it and one day the USB stop working. Then I come across this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396922 and started to look for something similar for the hermes.

But I also said that I could be wrong and could actually be fiscally damaged with loose connection. But I never opened and security seal still intact. I will wait till I have tried all the software solutions.

again thank you and if you have more to suggest I would love to ear
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] james1123:
May have a solution!

i had that problem as well if you go to start, settings, connections then there should be a usb icon or somthing tap that then disable; advanced network functionality. IF the usb thing isnt there it will be in the system settings

hoppe this helps :)
[HD2 General] vponomarev:
Hi!

I noticed a weird thing on my HD2.

There is an empty SMS message from 129 number that shows up in the inbox. After deleting it, it keeps coming back after a relatively short period of time. I DO NOT get any notifications about new SMS messages, so it's likely that this is some sort of phantom message.

I have disabled HTC messaging app and disabled the HTC messaging service (so that new SMS notifications contain "Save as read" and "Dismiss" options) and installed "SMS patch" application (from one of the other threads here) so fix the SMS counter.

Anyone has same issue?
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
The mothership is coming for you....

Honestly though dont have a clue :D
[HD2 General] Damitu:

[HD2 General] Derbyman32:
yup, ,mine to... can't delete it without it coming right back. Really strange
[HD2 General] pao_revolt:
lol i thought it was only me
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
It has to do with visual voicemail.

I enabled it and began getting these. I then disabled them and I don't get them anymore
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I noticed it a couple of times, but I've deleted it and it hasn't come back.

My visual voicemail is enabled and is working.
[HD2 General] vponomarev:
Looks like the mystery is solved. Thanks skylinepigeon.

I removed Visual Voicemail service from my T-Mobile account (as I don't really use it anyways), and this phantom message is not coming back anymore.
[HD2 General] Tin Ji:
I got these everyday, when turn on the phone after it's fully charged. I been getting these before I got have Visual Voicemail service on my account.
[HD2 General] FenderGuy:
Sorry to say it's not Visual Voicemail, i just switched over to the HD2 from a Mytouch didnt have VV on mytouch but I did get a 129 message also. I delated the google sync calander on my laptop thinking that was it and I have not gotten a 129 message yet
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
Have you tried calling TMobile and asking thm to remove VVM from your account? Just because your previous phone didn't have VVM doesn't mean a SMS wasn't being sent out.

Also check http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/message-from-129/td-p/171226 for some possible solutions.
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
I get this even after ditching VVM. It has to do with voicemail though. It only shows up for me if someone leaves me a voicemail or if I have any saved. What I do to get rid of it is open it up, transfer it from the sim to the phone, then delete it. And delete the voicemail(s), of course. I've called T-Mo numerous times about this too, they're aware of it & they claim they're working on it. Which I believe, because I used to not be able to delete it at all & now I can.
[HD2 General] rwt4jc:
Me too!

I signed up for Micorsoft MyPhone syncronization, I wonder if it has something to do with syncing up the phone?
[HD2 General] nookin:
I'm getting these empty SMS from 129 every time my phone (Verizon LG G2 VS980) boots up. Does anyone know how to make it stop? I noticed that when I delete voice mails, I get these empty SMS from 129 as well. So I am convinced that they have something to do with voicemail. It seems that T-Mobile think that my phone needs these SMS but my phone does not and ended up showing these SMS to me. This only happens when I am running a custom ROM.

Yes. I'm looking for a way to mess up my phone software so I can use my insurance to get a new phone. Is there. An way?

I bricked mine once by flashing a gsm radio.. =(

but if that's what you want, then go ahead!

good luck, sprint isn't that smart. tell them you tried updating my prl and it shut off. that's what i did!
[Hero CDMA General] junior5487:
why dont you just say you lost it or throw it in the toilet?
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
this wouldn't get you a free phone, you'd have to pay a $100 deductible... you should be careful when making posts like this. Some people are really sensitive about cheating the system and will torch you. Having said that, I would flash a gsm radio like the second post said.
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
if ur paying for insurance then why don't u just brick it the easy way nd drop an actual brick on it... last i checked monthly insurance covered any cause for replacement even neglect :D
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
My first inclination is to flame you, because the day before my phone got stolen, Sprint raised their deductable from $50 to $100 because of people doing things like that. It sucked.

But with that said, if you still feel like being "that guy" just flash a gsm radio
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
I didn't pay when mine bricked..of course, it was a TOTAL **** move to say i had no idea what happened..
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
i know, that's why i told him to do it your way rather than claiming loss or dropping it down the toilet
[Hero CDMA General] smoother2010:
ummm...run the RUU then uplug the device as it is flashing? you ever hear of insurance fraud my man?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Why do you need a new phone? If there is a defect, such as dust under the screen or paint chipping, call up customer service. They'll send you another one. If you REALLY needed to brick it, I would flash a Nexus kernel and radio. If you flash BOTH, that's the point of no return.

Ohh, i get it now haha

[Hero CDMA General] Shadowmite:
You could use flash_image to overwrite the nand with 0xFF's. Or my personal favorite, nuke it for 2 seconds in the microwave. I happen to be one of few people who has heard what it sounds like to be connected to a phone being nuked. You hear a thud, a couple beeps, a loud buzzing and a click... :D

Granted that guy took me seriously. But in general you should always try to call customer service or take it to a sprint store and argue for a replacement. If you waste enough of their time they will do it for you without your needing to destroy hardware and raise prices for the rest of us.
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
Use fresh ruu 1.56 sprint stock and unplugged bfre it finishes...anyways u might get the error 110 like me....:p
[Hero CDMA General] junior5487:
Yea because flashing a gsm radio isnt cheating the system. An insurance claim you pay for which is what he said he didnt say under warranty.
[Hero CDMA General] XxsydenxX:
Ok, Im sending my phone in for chipped paint guys... Now tell me..

I run a mac, and am on fresh 2.0d

Before sending it in should I brick it using the GSM radio thing so they dont know im rooted.

Because i don't know how to unroot on a mac.

EDIT: Also on my new phone, can i use my existing nandroid backups?
[Hero CDMA General] junior5487:
Just run the stock RUU it does it by itself. It gets rid of root and it also may brick your phone which you dont care. I do not know if it works on mac tho.
