A few points.

#1. I can't believe people are still making these posts about the stupid 2.1 release date.

#2. I can't believe people are complaining when the date comes and goes with no update.

#3. You're being a nitwit. I read the post (see #1) and nowhere did he promise the friggin' update would be today (Of course this is the point where people start arguing whether 'week of May 1' means the week ENDING with May 1 or beginning with May 1. I'm not getting into THAT idiotic debate). Just because you're butthurt that the update hasn't come out is no reason to take it out on the messenger (again, see point #1..ok and #2).

#4. Nevermind. That one would have gotten me banned.

#5. Grow up, stop whining (not just you specifically but in general. XDA has become a community of whiners. It's disheartening). I have an 8 year old who whines less than the majority of users here. (See point #2 again).

God. How long till we get segregated forums for the Hero again? So maybe we can have the whining limited to only ONE area?
[Hero CDMA General] daryelv:
Yeah, we'd need one section where all the nooBs would go to ask their asinine questions and one sections for the whiners.

C'mon people, I still see questions in a ROM thread asking "Does the camera work?" when in the first post it clearly states that the

camera does not work

. I'd rather log in and see 1-2 intelligent posts instead of having to wade through 200 posts about "How do I push that using adb?" or "Can someone create an update.zip for that? because I'm 1) too lazy to learn how to do it myself or 2) I'm too lazy to learn how to use adb instead."

The only outcome of this is that it ends up pissing off devs with the whining. I usually take a base ROM, customize it to my liking (change keyboards, theme it, remove/change/add applications, etc.) and then use it for my own personal use. I'd never think of releasing it because I would get too pissed off at people saying "Can I have AOSP dialer?" or "Can you put in this?" or "Does wireless tethering work? (Again, because they're too lazy to download to flash and try it themselves)."

It would not surprise me to see that when the EVO is released, most of the devs moving to it just to get away from all the whiners in here.

[Hero CDMA General] eskomo:
Are you that new around here? You do realize that it has been the same for every big phone or OS release? These noobs are who keeps the devs cooking. Otherwise everyone would just cook their own and be done.

Please stop spewing vomit and keep those comments to yourself.
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
I hate this forum.
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
has anyone thought that perhaps his information was correct but that Sprint is doing it in-store only for a few days? Has anyone tried to go to a sprint store and see if they are upgrading the moment as of yesterday? It wouldn't surprise me if they did this for a few days and then release it on the downloads page. Just a thought.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
thats actually a good point. somebody call in and see what they say.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
technically we can claim we spoke to abother rep. who gave us the info :-)
[Hero CDMA General] jovera:
2.1 update

What happend today 1 May we supose to receive the update from sprint?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
"First week of May"
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
My thread with deleted pics wins :-)

By the way retention training for 2.1 is may 7th so I can almost guarantee you guys it wont be out before then
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i just got off the phone with a rep. he had no specific dates, only "early may" and told me in his "professional opinion" that it would be released in "fifteen days"

"screw sprint"

dont shoot the messenger :)
[Hero CDMA General] wctom:
Back in March I predicted (may have been in another forum) that Sprint won't get 2.1 out the door until June. Looks like I may be right after all.
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
I think the 5th is a nice sounding date.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Oh god not this again. Do I really have to?

*flashes back to the goats*
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:

I am never taking a goat as payment from you again.:mad:
[Hero CDMA General] ThatGuyFromSprint:
Well, i just woke up, read the past few pages, got a few laughs (especially on the posts where it was my fault that the update isn't out, lol)

I'll start like this, I'm not sorry that it's not out, and in no way is it my fault, a few pages ago i posted the release that i had to help facilitate the needs of the community in solid backing for my "claims", at this point all i can say is, some of you are just ungrateful brats, while the rest are at least seeing it from a realistic perspective and understanding that while i did post the information, it's not my fault that it wasn't followed through.

In the end, here's hoping that the updates will follow in the next few days, if we don't see anything by Monday, i'll take a look to see if any other updates have been made when i return to work (sat & sun off).

Thanks for the support to the ones whom know who they are, and the rest, well, can't be too graphic without breaking rules, I'll leave it to the imagination :)

Hi,

I'm sick of telemarketing withheld "unknown" numbers calling me and would like to forward them straight to voicemail. Has anyone tried any decent apps that do this?
[Android Apps and Games] Trey_Miller:
I'm actually looking for an ap similar to this that will allow me to direct those who are listed as unknown to an audio track that plays the standardized three-tone line-is-disconnected track.
[Android Apps and Games] bonznumber1:
both would be awsome anyone know of an app in existence? if not this would be one of those apps ppl would pay for

Just tried droid block which was useless (DroidBlock)
[Android Apps and Games] Johnsmith12:
If you are looking for a third party solution (not on mobile) - you can register for a free account on PBX+. They are giving a free number in US/UK. You can then filter incoming calls using their filters. Of course, you could do much more.
[Android Apps and Games] stinkypete:
thanks John for PBX+ it seems interesting will look into it......

although it seems like more overkill than I perhaps need. I really just wanted an app.

I will check out pbx tomorrow
[Touch CDMA General] opivy224:
I currently have a sprint HTC Vogue and I am trying to flash the Verizon PRL onto it so I can use it on the PagePlus network. Everything I have seen says to dial #775#, but when I do that, my phone just tries to dial the number. I was using NSFAN's rom, and I even tried other roms and it does the same thing. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Which rom are you using now? If you are flashing a custom rom, more than likely you have a folder called "Phone Codes" somewhere in the Start menu. In there, you will have one that is called PRL. You have to have the MSL code to change this value though.

Get the PRL that you need and dump it somewhere in your phone. When you open the PRL program in phone codes (and you enter the MSL code), simply tap and hold where it says the PRL version and click on "Edit" (or whatever option you get), look for yours, and presto! Save, exit (you will be asked to soft reset).

Hope this helps.
[Touch CDMA General] opivy224:
Thanks. I have the MSL. I am flashing the official Sprint WM6.1 rom right now out of desperation, but I can put whatever on there. Do I need a custom rom in order to use the "phone codes" folder?
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
To get it in folder format, yes. But if you are going for a stock rom, then simply use the codes and you'll be in good shape.
[Touch CDMA General] thihaminhtun:
I want to change PRL in my HTC.

I can access to ##775#.

But I can't find anywhere to PRL file in my phone.

I want to change PRL by myself.

Sometimes, I can use my phone.

But most of times, it shown searching and if i got signal, it shown antenna only. So how should I do? Please help me.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Have you tried to use the *228 (or whatever Sprint's equivalent is)? It should automatically provision your device.
[Touch CDMA General] TheXev:
When I flashed my Sprint Vogue for Verizon usage... I first had to flash the newest stock Verizon ROM (You can find it on NuAngel's goodies page at the bottom! Yes the radio change one!), then flash a Verizon PRL to the phone. Nu told me I would have to reunlock the phone afterward, but I didn't need to.

I was then able to dial *228 and program the phone! After the phone was programed, I could finally flash ROMs onto it and still have working service. This phone didn't like NuVogue 5 (even though most of NuVogue's development was done on this phone.. wtf). Nu cooked a Verizon specific NuVogue 5 and it worked a bit better, but I remained on stock until I was able to cook my own build (still working on, I have plans on posting it after conferring with Nu and stealingz some of his ideas).

I can update the phone roaming via *228 only with the stock Verizon ROM (does not work on ANY cooked ROMS I have tried!!), but because the phone still has a Sprint PRI (feel free to message me instructions on switching to a Verizon PRI, cause I haven't found them yet), I get the roaming triangle. I used the latest moded PRL found in this thread here (51831) and I've been great ever since.

I try to avoid Carrier generic ROMs (or cooking my in development "XevRev" [tentative name] as generic) since they reflash the PRL, which is just a pain in the butt imo. I plan on trying NuVogue 6 when Nu and I go to hang at his place sometime this coming week, I want to see if its improved over the previous release on this phone. Can't explain why the release ran so waked out in v5 on this phone..... anyway...).

*links removed because I haven't been validated by the mods. I recommend site admin get a Stop-forum-spam (Google to find since I can't link) plugin for his vB forum. XD It's a lot easier then manually chasing down spam.. trust me.*
[P3470 General] popaflorin19:
Hy. I have a htc p3470 and tried a hard spl ... but meanwhile the battery is finished and now the phone not start. The screen has three colors red, green, blue and remains blocked in this way:(. Do you have any idea ... or can send it to recycling. Please so much ... a tip, you can do .... please. Sorry for my English .... google translation :D
[Desire General] bcmobile:
I have read bits and pieces about what can/can't be flashed with just goldcard and the original SPL but am still a bit confused. Could someone please explain what is possible and what is not? For example, I have heard that you can't downgrade versions but obviously that is too broad a statement as some of the results people have posted in regards to the HK and EU ROMs suggest otherwise.

Unless I'm blind or mistaken, there's nothing much goldcard related in the wiki.

Edit: Moved from the development forum? ....okay
[Desire General] bcmobile:
I posted this in the 'Desire Android Development' forum and it got moved to 'Desire General' and subsequently buried.

Can anyone answer this question??

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Yeah as far as I know, Hence JBlend.

Would expect there to be problems with the aspect ratios tho, as I dont think there are any native WVGA Java based mobiles out there (might be wrong)

But if you dont mind it, give them a whirl, what the worst that can happen? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labarum:
The 3 "Kin" phones are up and have links @Zune.net
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
There are only 2 Kin phones. What is this third you are refering to?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labarum:
Yep, sorry 2 phones... Sorry I was posting from my TP2 and only had a limited time to look at the article before heading off to work. The Two phones looked like 3 but the riser phone is shown twice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] welki1979:
They're also in the 'coming soon' section at mobiles.co.uk with pictures.

Doesn't look much like we've been led to believe WP7 looks like though...I could be wrong....could this perhaps be the lost version of Windows Mobile instead?

Don't forget about Dell's *rumored* phones ---> Smoke, Thunder, & Flash.... Supposedly Flash and Thunder will also run WinMo 7....

What if I don't want to tweet, and do Facebook. Is there a possibility to socialize with other sites?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
hold up, hold up....

So Microsoft Kin is completely different than Windows Phone 7?

They say the Kin is loosely built on Windows Mobile...?
[Windows Phone 7 General] GAMERIG:
scratches my head wondering, *KIN is not KIN phone.. but actually is ZUNE PHONE!* without doubt...

Source
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
It's built on CE6 (which is shared with the Zune HD and WP7). In the future, MS's plan is to merge the two platforms together with the Kin interface running on top of a future version of WP (think MotoBlur running on top of Android)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cdness:
Hi All,

Any recommendations on how to fix an issue where after about 24 hours of application of a Zagg InvisiShield, my touchscreen stops responding...

If I take the protector off the screen works fine. I have already attempted to install a second screen and the same thing happened about 24 hours after application...

I submitted the question to Zagg but figured I'd try here too and see if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

Curtis
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] telegraph0000:
Perhaps there are certain areas around the screen where pressure is put, where the screen is being pressured upon two points....?? I know it happened with the Kaiser....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] p51d007:
Strange....I had a Fuze & now the TP2 and both had zagg...never an issue.

24 hours should be enough for the application liquid to dry. Did you get it aligned on the screen? Pushing on the bottom row of buttons?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] MrPib:
Same problem here, though I don't recall who makes my screen protector. Worked fine for months, then totally unresponsive screen after I took it off, washed & tried it, reapplied. Stayed unresponsive even after taking it back of, for close to a day.

Tried putting it half-way on, and half of the screen wouldn't respond. Damn strange. Couldn't find anyone else with the same issue until I saw your post!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cdness:
well I removed the protector again and the screen still didn't work. I founf a hot-spot in the screen where the person who applied the protector got too much liquid on the screen and it soaked into the cracks. I have a new phone coming from Verizon and it should be here in a day or two. I also have a new protector coming from Zagg soon so I'll be able to put it on more carefully myself this time.

Nothing against Zagg or their products, but I won't recommend the store employees at the Mall of America anymore.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SkyLineDnB:
hi guys, i have just bought sprint tp2 and im using gsm here in Brazil... i dont like the sprint ROM, so theres the question:

If i made a HardSPL on it, to get a custom ROM, am i losing the GSM network ??

sorry bout my bad bad english... thx from brazil!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SkyLineDnB:
PS... it was unlocked via message...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ai6908:
HardSPL doesnt have anything to do with GSM or CDMA network to my knowledge. You will have to phone unlocked to be used in other networks. Since you have done that, I think you are good to go.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
the sprint model is unlocked for non-US GSM out of the box, and Hard-SPL wont remove any functionality and no ROMs should effect this either (i have the same model, ith hard-SPL and NRG's rom and it works with my german T mobile SIM)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SkyLineDnB:
nice! thx brothers!

Cheers!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Once you flash the CDMA HardSPL to the phone, you will be able to flash custom ROMs. However, you will still need to flash CDMA ROMs and radios, even though you are using the GSM radio. GSM TP2 ROMs will not boot if flashed to a CDMA device.
[HD2 General] Leeloo Minai:
Hello folks,

is it somehow possible to edit a number from call history (or maybe even a contact) before calling / dialling (eg. change the suffix) with HTC HD2 (or Windows mobile in general)???

Even my stoneage Nokias could do this... Very helpful feature if trying to call different numbers (suffixes) in one company or after mistyping a number and noticing it after hitting the "Call" button (you could then take the number from history and correct the typo instead of re-entering the whole number).

I found no way with my top notch HD2 to perform this simple task. Any tricks at hand? Any (simple, probably free) apps that may help?

(Is there anyone at all who shares my need? ;) )

Thanks for your help!
[HD2 General] ephestione:
surprisingly enough, and ridiculously enough, as far as I've tried until now, that's not possible, unless you keep the number in your head and type it in the dialer, or copy/paste the original number inside a fake contact, and edit it there in order to call that contact later.

Nothing even by far anything similar to copy/paste is possible in the dialer, not even with quickmenu :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Leeloo Minai:
Thanks ephestione for your sympathy, pity that there seems to be no solution! ;)

Creating a dummy contact would be a kind of workaround but no simplification. Re-entering the number would then be quicker and less complicated.

Another strange flaw of the "Phone dialer screen" I just noticed is that you can not even really edit the number you just typed in at any position (by placing a cursor). You really have to backspace-delete the whole number until the typo and re-enter it from that position on! How "smart" is that?

(For my not-so-smart old SE k800i this was one of the easiest tasks and I never expected this to be a problem...)

Certainly this problem is caused by the different concepts of "touch" or "keypad" interfaces. With a keypad selecting an item (eg. a number in a list) and then doing something with it (eg. dial or select a "use number functionality" via menu) are separate things, while in touch interfaces selecting and executing often (mostly) is one.

But in many situations this is inappropriate at least. The distinction between a single tap to select and a double-tap to execute (like known from the mouse) seems to be the better approach when there are several different things you might want to do with an Item (like here)!

Anyway, is there no one else missing a "edit number before redial/dial contact" functionality?

Anyone else with a solution (app or easy workaround) at hand?

If there is a certain demand I would even try to write my own app! :eek: Unfortunately I have absolutely no experience in programming for WinMo and accessing functions there...

Could someone suggest a good introduction to WinMo-Programming? (Or maybe anyone of the experienced developers here is keen on doing the coding? ;) )

My idea:

App functionality:

Possibility to edit phone number selected (tapped) from call history before redialling starts

Possibility to edit phone number selected (tapped) from contact before dialling starts

App features:

Suppress dialling after selecting (single tap) a number from call history or contact (or anywhere else), instead paste the number to the "number field/row" in the "Phone dialer screen". The number could then be edited using the "backspace method".

A number could then be dialled as usual by double-tapping the number. (Tap/double-tap functionality may be switched)

>>> At least great for suffix editing. Looks quite easy to code to my unexpirienced eye...

On the "Details" tab for a contact (or a number from history) provide a button to the right of every "Call ..." entry (just like the "select number" button for the "send message" entry) with a "use number functionality" wich just pastes the number to the "number field/row".

>>> Surely needs accessing HTC Sense. Looks challenging.

Maybe also provide such a button in call (history) lists...

>>> There already are two buttons in these lists...

Make "number field/row" fully editable by providing a freely placeable cursor.

>>> No idea how to do this. May need accessing HTC Sense? Looks very complicated.

Feedback welcome!
[HD2 General] pamand:
It is simply SICK that this functionality does not exist by default. No wonder the head of win mo just got sacked! /P
[HD2 General] kunald4:
I desperately need this editing function as I travel overseas a lot and ther are a lot of IP dialing facilities where one just has to enter a specific number before the main phone number, eg if in Singapore and using M1 sim card one just has to dial 021 + country code + tel number. (021 is not an international dialing code, its just a cheaper way to make international calls)

I was able to do this in my 10 year old phone but ever since I've moved to WiMo such a basic feature is missing.
[HD2 General] blaster88:
I am missing it also very much!!! Tried to use the note function but it did not work ... It would be really great if someone might be able to provide a cap-file to improve this great mistake of wm!! Or anything else - any ideas are appreciated!!!
[HD2 General] globalgpj:
The only thing I can think of, is a phone suite software from Inesoft.

http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=phone.html

New version 6 has been released with updates.

I have attached some info in their user manual.

Apparently, it seems they have addressed this issue.

I have read a number of forums and people with HD2, liked this software.

Hope this helps.

ps. I haven't tried it, as I hadn't had a need. But I think I will give it a go, as my needs for international dialing are picking up. I have SPB phone suite, and it is almost useless.......so give that phone suite a miss. I also had phone alarm and it won't solve the problem either.
[HD2 General] globalgpj:
Oh, and I forgot their was PhonEx. Ver2.2 is the current one.

http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en&menu=62e094db10fc83b1

They also have a feature to edit and add, special format numbers, which can be used when dialing intl numbers etc....

I have attached their info as well.

You would have to do some research and see which one would suit your needs better, and your device, between PhonEx and Inesoft.

Good luck.

Edit: I think between the two, PhonEx has a better dialer.............Just my two cents.......but check it out for yourselves.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
just had a quick play with this, with the aim of taking a number from call history, editing it and dialing the edited number.

here's how.

from phone screen, choose number in the list by tapping the icon on the right, which calls up the history sub tab for just that number, (or the details page if it's a known contact), slide to the messaging sub tab and press the hardware send key, this loads the number into the dial screen, but doesn't dial it. now choose menu, save to notes, edit the number, select it, press and hold, choose copy, jump back to phone screen, hit menu and paste is now an option.

voila, new number just waiting for you to hit dial.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
the whole procedure sounds like the neverending story, as it would require more time than to memorize the new number and type it in :D

Anyway, what I have to thank you for, is pointing me to the fact that there is indeed a "Paste" item in the menu! I don't know how I overlooked that :rolleyes:

So well, regarding my need, which is not actually editing the number before dialing but rather copy the number off a calendar entry, you just saved my day :p thank you ;)
