Get a different podcast app? Or look for an app that's designed to run podcasts in the background. Not sure as I think podcasts are gay. Good luck.
[HD2 General] Barett89:
Hello Guys!

First of all: Excuse my English, I'll try my best :D

Well, since yesterday I'm a proud owner of a HD2 and I'm slowly trying to get

everything fitted to my needs

I installed CHT, SecureW2 for WPA2-Enterpise access and so on, also my e-mail stuff works fine.

But I'm not able to find out if its possible to make my phone use my ical calendar file which I've stored on icalx.com.

This file is used by my laptop and desktop PC as well, but i do not really want to synchronize with Thunderbird Lightning all the time, I just want my HD2 to use the published file as well so that it is always up to date, so that i do not need to synchronize it every day.

Anyone knows if there a way to do that?

(I'm really sorry if I missed something similar using the search fuction, I only found problems related to syncing with thunderbird)
[HD2 General] Barett89:
Oo falling off the first page goes pretty quick here!

Anyways...another question i have is: Is HTC Calender an application itself or is it just a graphical interface for the outlook calendar? I mean Outlook should be able to ready .ics or am I wrong here?
[HD2 General] Barett89:
as theer are more users online now...I'll give it a last try.

Is there really nobody who has tried this before? I always had the impression that this is a common way to sync ones calendars
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
First of all: Your English is excellent! :D

And concerning your question: Have your read this thread? I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. Also, I found this, which looks promising as well.

EDIT: LOL - this is a featured article on the xda-developers front page today: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/icalendar-appointmentstasks-icalparse/ What a coincidence?
[HD2 General] Barett89:
this is really LOL!

But thanks a lot, I'm already trying it out and despite a minor bug it seems to work quiet well!

Hello all, new to the forum (though an active reader all the time, this is a goldmine of info).

I recently got a micro SDHC for my hero, a 16 Gb monster. Well, it monstrously FUBARed when i tried to format it. It was a second hand deal, but i checked at first and had full capacity. I formatted it in Vista, simple right click and format. I didn't look at the details, just all default settings.

The card is now read as a 122Mb card. I tried formatting it in the phone itself, and with the Panasonic SD format program, to no avail. I am now stuck with the tiniest SDHC card in history.

I've read about this issue and others seemed to regain the original capacity with the panasonic program. I also heard about partition managers working for some, but can't find one for memory cards.

Anyone got any ideas? I can put about five songs on my phone right now...

Thanks ahead of time. And sorry if this has been covered, i searched the forums and found a few articles, but didn't find a clear solution.

Yannicus
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] yannicus:
Post Scriptum...

PS: the card is a SanDisk class 6 and cost me an arm. >_<

Thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kadison:
Where did you get it from? You could have been scammed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Explosive_Cornflake:
I'd grab a live linux cd and see if you can rescue it. fdisk or something should able to rescue it. I would have some reservations about you being scammed though as mentioned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] yannicus:
I'm looking for an fdisk utility, but not too confident. First of all, its not a SanDisk but a Transcend, my mistake, but i think its fake because the card has no logo on it, or a mention of class 6. Just doesn't look like the one in the picture in the offer (amazon.com second hand) or like the google image results when i search for a class 6 16g microsd.

i wrote back... no answer. Anyway i'll try the fdisk, and see about the linux cd (whenever i figure out exactly what that is). anyway, next time i'll avoid second hand deals, it was too good to be true (30€ when the normal price is twice that).

Thanks for the info anyway, will look into fixing it, but it looks like i got a dodgy deal in the end.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] shotgunfool:
if you paid on a credit card or via paypal you can get your money back, you should also be able to open a case through amazon too, but i have personally not done one through amazon before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cauli:
If your phone's rooted & has a decent ROM on it, you already have a linux environment that probably includes parted; that will do a fine job of removing existing partitions, re partitioning & formatting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Arranmc182:
looks like its a scam card thars been hacked to lie about its size i have seen thos on usb drives. you could try gparted live cd and see if that helps at all.

paragon partition manager should fix it i had same problem with a 1TB hard drive deciding it was only 60GB.

Im not condoning it but i suggest you use your favorite torrent site if you have one,dont think the trial will do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] drummingfool:
This is also my suggestion. I cant tell you how many times Paragon has saved my ass when it comes to strange partitions. Give it a go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ddotpatel:
I'd also name and shame the Amazon trader so the rest of us can keep well clear.

Dont pirate software just get the gparted live cd its free and will do the same job.

I had the similar issue, where Windows Vista was showing a 2GB micro SD card as 40 MB. I tried all partitioning software for windows, but nothing works. Then I formatted the card in Mac, and now its showing 1.8GB. You can use some Linux bootable CD, wasting time on windows software is useless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soopahfly:
Try this before going and pirating something.

I think it should work on SD cards, I've used it on numerous HDD's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] markatmgpc:
I'm constantly using this - HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool at work to sort out cards and usb drives for people, also works to restore a drive after using it for a linux live usb drive.

Once installed right click and run as admin if using win 7

You wouldn't download a car, would you? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] craigbeat:
When you look at it in Vista, what does it say? It could be that you've actually partitioned it and formatted as NTFS which is unreadable on your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ryanraven:
Reformat

Take everything you have off the card first and install this http://www.multiupload.com/IBKQ1A2ENG

Click

Options

Format type - Full Rewrite

Format size adjustment - ON

OK

[ make sure your drive letter is the right one, don't want to format something else ]

Hit - FORMAT

This will wipe the entire card and rewrite it i done it with mine when i thought my ext was dead and just rewrote the entire card but took about 10 minutes for a 4GB so will take a while.

[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
so ever snice i flashed my hero to damage 2.1 rom my awake time is always so high. its always only about 10 minutes BELOW he uptime. therefore, KILLING my battery life. =(
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
I've been running DC off and on for almost a month now and have had excellent battery life. My awake times fluctuate (right now I'm at 13:30 Up time and 8:37 Awake time) but it hasn't been crazy.

Just curious, what is considered a "good" awake time/up time ratio? Are there better numbers on any of the other ROMs?
[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
before if flashed it. lets say my uptime would be 50 minutes. my awake time would prob only be 2 minutes if i didnt use my phone at all. but now that i flashed it, my uptime would be 50 minutes and my awake time will prob like 40 minutes.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
The current Damage Control ROM is bugged and has an extremely strange wake lock issue. I'd suggest using Fresh ROM 2.0d until this is fixed.
[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
is the freshrom 2.0 just like damagecontrol ? i mean i LOVE evertying about DC. i wouldnt want something so different.
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
it shouldnt be totally different, but even if it isn't it works...or you could live with your battery life.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
I don't think it's the ROM. I am running DC 2.7.02 and right now my up time is 21:45 while my awake time is 2:48.

My battery life has been fantastic. Have you tried looking at various radios?
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
yea after a search...weird i didnt think it worked...i found that this complaint is on almost every rom by at least one person. There are quite a few fixes. biggest one is disabling stock messaging app if used and using handcent or chomp.

Also you can go to settings, about phone, battery, and see what is using the battery.

This isnt for you dooj just quoted on your statement.
[Hero CDMA General] jackal424:
I had that happen recently to a friend. Try just doing a factory reset.

Settings -> privacy -> factory reset.

Your phone will still remain rooted and the rom will still remain too.

This fixed it for him.
[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
how do i disable the stock messanger fully ?
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
go to messages, then press menu and go to setting. uncheck auto-retrieve, and uncheck received notifications.

edit* i did this to my wifes phone a few weeks ago as she was having a problem on another rom and her awake time still shows high but her battery is much better and she quit hitting me.
[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
yeah i have thoese unchecked. everytime i open up advacned task killer i always see these apps running tho...

voicemail

clock

handcent

messages
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
whats your time without signal? go to settings, about phone, battery, battery use and see whats using the battery and if click on the cell standby i think to see time without signal.

also go to menu, applications, running services, and see whats running and how long. stop the ones you dont use that have been running the entire time your phone was awake.
[Hero CDMA General] jackal424:
If you want to remove it, then at the windows command prompt assuming you have your SDK tools path set up correctly:

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm [messaging app].apk

I dont know what the name of the messaging app is, but I think it might be Mms.apk You are at your own risk if that removes the wrong app.

You dont have to tecnically remove it. Just disable auto retrieve and notifications in that app.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
It is mms.apk.

I have been running the stock messaging with no problems.

My time without signal is 0% or non-existant.

As for the current Damage Control ROM having a wake-lock issue, what IS the latest version? I am running v2.07.2 (the one before the TrevE mod) and I have no wake-lock, random reboots, or time without signal.
[Hero CDMA General] beerock:
I have not found it to be the rom that is keeping things awake technically. I have tried to figure this one out, and all I can say it seems to be tied to some apps that I have downloaded that starts to throw the awake issue off.

This has happened to me on all 2.1 roms.......after a couple weeks of downloading some apps.

I only use root explorer and mixzing for now and have not had a problem with just those two.

I think I even confirmed that Pac-man was keeping the phone awake, although this is probably not the only one.

anyway, hope it helps.:D
[Android Software Development] ajaholic:
I'm trying to make an app through which I can send remote commands to my phone via SMS from another phone. I want the program to detect when an SMS comes from a specific number and intercept it, i.e. preventing the Messaging app from ever detecting it and showing it in the Inbox.

Would this be possible without turning off notifications for the default messaging app and if does anyone know of any example source code?

Thanks

[Android Software Development] RoboPhred:
From what I recall there is no way to cancel the intent from being sent to other recievers, but you can adjust the priority yours is called in relation to others using the priority attribute. Set your reviever to run after the text message activitiy's receiver (use priority -1), and identify/delete the message using the text message content provider.

I think that's right, I am out right now and can't research it.

Just got my Incredible yesterday and WOW is it impressive.

BUT I was disappointed to find that HTC Sync is not yet available for the Incredible I was told by customer support (HTC) that the Incredible Sync software when available will be more advanced then previous versions of Sync.

Be aware that using other versions of Sync (such as for the Eris) may require your phone to be reset if/when you upgrade to the version intended for the Incredible.

Check is in the mail. :rolleyes:

Anyone working on specific Sync for the Incredible?

OP feel free to move to Incredible Subforum when created.

[Desire Android Development] desmopro:
Here is how to install/use archlinux on the desire :

What you need :

-Rooted phone

-a2sd (Paul has included busybox in a2sd zip)

-an ext2 partition on the SD

-the following tarball : http://www.4shared.com/file/wlu7e8g9/arch-arm-basetar.html - dae1d0dfbbfe6ba88a8f95958648f463 - Thanks jayshah

Credit : CalimeroTeknik (irc.freenode.net/archlinux-fr) has make everything, i have just uploaded the tarball and write this howto

WARNING : This is provided without any warranty, if you brick your phone because of that, I (desmopro) and CalimeroTeknik cannot be held responsible.

1: Extract the tarball inside a folder of the ext2 SD (/system/sd/) , yes you have RW inside this folder.

2: Launch chroot

You can launch chroot with script named chroot.sh at root of archlinux folder,

After launching, you can see many terminal error, execute "export TERM=linux", after that you can use SSH (is better than ADB) by launching /etc/rc.d/sshd start

3: Configure your system

Its a base, so you need some package, install base-devel and yaourt (follow http://archlinux.org wiki for that)

Warning : yaourt 0.9.3.0 or superior not work, you need to use yaourt 0.9.2

4: Some arm repository ?

add on /etc/pacman.conf :

[archlinuxfr]

Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/arm/

5: About stop chroot :

Before execute exit from adb chroot, dont miss to close all Archlinux process (ssh, ...) if you not make it, you need to restart your phone before return to the chroot)
[Desire Android Development] jayshah:
I am mirroring the tarball for you.

Edit 1: MD5/SHA1 would be handy in the OP.

Edit 2: Trying again

Dear forum,

I am new to this forum. May I ask:

My new HTC HD2 does not vibrate or sound on text messages, despite all my efforts in the settings. Help?

Thank you.

David
[HD2 General] Slystorm:
Hey raveh,

I you scroll all the way to the settings tab, select "sound and diplay" (sorry i'm translatin from my french rom, so use your imagination if the terms are not exactly the same), then "notification sound", select one of the items (eg: text message), you'll see on top of the page a "scroller" Vibrate [Deactivated------Activated------Only]. You just have to select whichever one you want in every section of the settings.

Hope that helped

Cheers
[HD2 General] raveh:
too easy to solve this

Thank you, but this is the obvious, and it does not help at all.

I was even asked to go to setting, press menu, go to all settings, and from there to do it - it did not help either.

The HD2 sounds and vibrates to phone calls, but does not sound or vibrate to text messages. Any idea why?

Sincerely, David.
[HD2 General] getz1100:
Hi Raveh, is your problem sounds and vibrates solved? I have similar problem on vibration.

Thank You.
[HD2 General] raveh:
vibration and sounds of text messages

Thank you for the interest.

What I found so far is interesting and goes like this:

When people buy this HD2 (a wonderful device, I think) the Hebrew speakers try to install a free Hebrew program. It works well but not perfectly. However, it stops the vibrations and sounds of the text messages. I did hard reset, the Hebrew was deleted, and the HD2 returned to vibrate and sound to text messages. Chats in Hebrew revealed this problem. Maybe other downloads do it as well, not only Hebrew, and probably not intentionally. One person posted a solution: he showed to go to the registry, and to change a numeric parameter (something like "1033" in the MUI folder there. I am not professional enough to do it. I will have to ask help from the real pros. If you do it, let me know here or write to ravehmed@hotmail.com.

Good day and best wishes, whereever and whoever you are.
[HD2 General] getz1100:
Hi Thank for sharing. I do a factory reset and hard reset. But to no avail. Had try to search every forum, but still can't find any answers. I will bring it to htc service centre soon. Thank again.
[HD2 General] JMercurin:
I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)

This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved

You can also try with Sound Manager or something like that and change the settings that you can't change on the options that came with the device

Sorry about my awefull english

Thanks button if you find this usefull :D

Hey guys,

in a german board someone said he is in contact with the SE support and today he was told that there is a new firmware out. It's called R2BAxxx and should fix the battery issues.

In an other board someone posted this

Does anyone allready have this firmware? Or has anyone further information about that?
