[Desire General] setspeed:
I've just cancelled my Desire/TMobile contract under Distance Selling Regs due to lack of 3G coverage in my area. Occasionally I would find a pocket of superfast 2Mbps HSDPA coverage, but mostly it was crap 2G.

I still have my Vodafone contract running so I'm thinking of staying with them and upgrading (although they're more expensive than TMob).

I've done a few speedtests, and I never get more than 0.47Mps on a 3G signal, although this is available nearly everywhere. Never seen an H.

Can anyone tell me if Vodafone provides the faster H connection anywhere, and whether I'm ever likely to see it in Suffolk?

I can confirm that I have a H connection on Vodafone (Cardiff). Just tested on the Ookla Speedtest app and getting 1312kbps download and 1296kbps upload.

Holy jeebus, that's awesome! I'm jealous... I need to get out of the backwaters and live somewhere I can get a decent signal :-(

[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
How did you get the screenshot?
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Run the speedtest app, tell it you want to email the result (I picked via GMail, doubt it matters). In the email is a link to a .png file, which is the pic you're after.
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:

[Desire General] luzok:
Of course, Vodafone has the fastest RAN.
[Desire General] dreamdealer:
Got this result a couple of hours later
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Niiiiiiiice.

I shall have to run a few more tests in an attempt to beat you lol
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Bare in mind speedtest.net is one of the most inaccurate speedtests on the Internet...I wouldn't look to much into it
[Desire General] dreamdealer:
i agree with you, that score took me bout 5 attempts. others were on average about 2-3 mb/s. and was surprised it pulled out that speed. but just goes to show your not far off the mark because when i ran the test it said 100 miles to London, and the png came out as 50 miles. maybe there's some technicality i am missing somewhere on why that happens, but it did so i have to admit i really font know why.
[Desire General] setspeed:
Hmmm. I was using Mordax Speedtest and got 589kbps, then installed and ran Speedtest.net and got 2101kbps!

The Mordax one doesn't run as long as the Speedtest, but even still - such a wide disparity! I don't know which I trust, if either!

EDIT: Xtremelabs speedtest gives me 1453kbps
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Different speed tests will use different servers, that's why you get variable results.
[Desire General] angues:
I tested mine yesterday, was pleasantly suprised!

This was quite early in the morning, but after repeated tests today it seems I always get around 4Mb/s :)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
How did you cancel a contract you had already agreed to?
[Desire General] profet:
I get the H on T-Mobile all the time - both in London and Manchester, and most of the train route in between. Typically get between 512kb/s and 2Mb/s download speed. Sounds like you live in a bit of a deadspot.
[Desire General] setspeed:
Under the UK's Distance Selling Regulations consumers have 7 working days during which they can cancel any contract/service/product for a full refund, no questions asked.
[Desire General] setspeed:
Yeah, it's called most of Suffolk. Don't even get decent coverage in the main town (Ipswich), hence me going back to Vodafone.

You use the following program (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112) and encode the video from whatever to .mp4 and watch it on the media player. I think the app is called Pictures & Videos..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fana7ic:
Some time ago I saw a video (I think it was posted on lifehacker.com) where a guy had set up a home server (linux) with a webcam to check if his cats jumped on the tables while he was out at work.

If the webcam detected movement it sounded an alarm, scaring the cats away and capturing like 10 seconds of video which was then sent as a .flv or something video via email.

Im searching for something like this.

The monitoring server should run on either mac or windows and then send the video via email so I can watch it on my HD2.

Doesnt need to do anything else, I dont have to scare my cats away :D

If anyone knows any software that does this, please tell me.

You can try WebcamXp

on the compact v the clock is a bit boring

how do i get the clock they have on the td2(flip clock)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
depending on your manila build, search for the specific clock you want in the Themes and Apps forum, i.e. "White Flip Clock", then download and install the cab file.

However I'm not sure do the Compacts run manila?

If so, I strongly suggest searching and installing Cookies Home Tab 1.7.0

Old news >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661057

All of our dev's 2.1 builds are already based on this build.

FYI, when the final (non-test) build .exe comes out, flashing your phone with it may render your phone unrootable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sponge66:
I put it on my Hero with no problems. My guess is its very close to the RC. Or he could just wait!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
Once you have used this leaked RUU from Sprint, how do you go and flash one of the ROMs here? When I attempt to do it, I get a pic of a generic HTC phone with a red triangle and a red exclamation point. I have to do a battery pull to get it to go away.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Don't flash a ruu that doesn't have root. The exploits used to gain root are probably patched. Also this will over write your custom recovery. Leaving you with no way to flash custom roms. Wait until someone puts out a build with root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Sounds like you already installed the ruu I'm guessing?..lol.

You need flash a custom recovery to the phone now to be able to flash custom ROMs.

Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb

adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid backup your phone first thing >> Next you choose flash .zip and choose any custom ROM signed .zip on your sdcard to flash. >> After it flashes, reboot.

I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing

adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
Hi Dankee. I am having difficulties pushing flash_image. This is what I type/get:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push flash_image /system/bin/flash_image

failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image': Read-only file system

Any ideas? Thanks so much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
you cant gain root in any other way now theres no known exploit for 2.1 yet so your basically screwed till someone finds a exploit next time gather information before you run some random program that hasnt even really been verified
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
Yeah, I have learned my lesson I think. I think I am going to wait around until there is an exploit for 2.1 before I end up bricking this thing. I ended up getting the flash_image pushed but now I can't reboot and use the recovery image. It goes straight to a HTC with red triangle and red exclamation point. Luckily I was able to do a battery pull and it rebooted straight to the RUU 2.1 ROM. I thought I had bricked the thing. Whew! I'll see what some of the masterminds come up with here.

I think all I am missing is being able to go into bootloader and do the v1.6.2 recovery image and then flash a custom ROM.

This worked for me thanks to GBhil!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
Thanks SooooneR! This worked for me. I am flashing one of DamageControl's ROMs right now. Very cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
At least I am hoping this worked. It stays on HTC quietly brilliant for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tedya:
OK, I am back up. Looks like the DamageControl ROM loaded OK. Maybe this is a dumb question. I thought when you load a new ROM, all the settings go to whatever the new ROM is set at. All of my email accounts are still there, my google settings are still there, etc. I know the damagecontrol ROM is loaded as it says so in the Build Number. Is this how custom ROMs work? I am a total newb to this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] superlinkx:
If you don't do a factory reset, (known to most around here as a Data/Cache wipe), then everything will stay the same. This is because these Roms use the ota update.zip method. The only problem is, if you don't wipe between certain Roms, you could get a lot of bad settings, force closes, etc. Its always a good idea to go into the recovery menu and wipe everything before flashing a new Rom. If you already install the rom and start having trouble, just go into settings and do a factory reset. This should fix the problem as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Wrong. You just follow the root guide first, but push the file right before you flash the custom recovery.

When the FINAL .exe comes out you may be screwed if you flash it. The ruu version above is a test version and is completely rootable..

.and yes I personally installed the .ruu with the .exe, rooted, installed custom firmware and nandroided back to my old build.

[General Questions and Answers] SsBloodY:
Well I want to make some themes for so many applications but how? I know for every application it's different. But I don't know from where to start. Should i extract files from .cab than replace and repack or create a new .cab file that interacts with the program or every program has it's own file extension and guides how to make theme. How it's done. Some of the apps I want to make theme for are Iconsoft phone ex, resco photo manager, resco contact manager and there are more but from where to start?

Well, first you would want to have some skill with photoshop!

Then as you said the easiest way to start is to look at other skins and modify them to your needs. Once you get the gist of how to that program's skins work you can create them from scratch.

Ok guys I want to skin/rework Omnia Lite applications:

http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-.../b7300-omnia-lite-applications-for-i900-i910/

I've learned that a .cab program must be open with WinCe Cab manager. I've started with the Audio manager. In the program there were just two dll's. I've extracted them and opened them with Res Hacker. I've though i would se some common Script Language but no...

Just some things like:

0000AB24 FF FF FE FF 41 9C 04 00 18 00 E8 03 00 00 00 яяюяAњ••••и••••

There weren't any pictures in the cab probably none are used in the audio manager but I wanted to at least change colors. But I can't understand anything inside. Oh and one guy said to me that I must sign my dll's what did he mean what is that and how it is done. Thanks for the help!

[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
I don't know if you guys know.. but there was a AOSP Dialer developed by another member on the forums called NubDialer (Wysie). You can find it in the market by searching NumDial. It's almost identical to the Nexus One/Droid dialer. You guys can have a look at that, while I work on this.

By the way, I've downloaded NubDial, and yes... it does work on our phones. Though, I think the Voicemail button (#1) isn't functioning correctly; I can fix that though.

I think we should also see if we can find a way to be able to delete the HTC dialer off our phones. Right now, the only way to keep the ability to dial (on any dialer) is to keep the HTC dialer.

[HD2 General] SMS92:
Thanks - from what I've read it also supports pinch-to-zoom which is fantastic.

The only thing that concerns me is just how secure Remote Desktop is on the client side (WinXP). I guess a lot of it is down to the user to secure things, I found a decent guide here on how to minimise brute force attacks.

What appealed to me about z2 remote pc from a security point of view is that it required its own usernames/passwords to be set up as opposed to using actual Windows users and supported up to 256bit AES encryption, good stuff!

I figure I'll try both again and see how they perform. :)
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
Remote desktop from Microsoft is extremely safe to use...

For one, it uses 128-bit encryption (RC4), you login using the same login mechanisms as the windows machine... and no user with blank password or not-admin can login, so you don't suffer from that, either...
