[Nexus One Accessories] arkavat:
your car audio system should have bunch of wires in the back. Look in the user manual, one of them will be "ground wire". It is either attached to the "ground" wire coming from your car or just attached to nearest metal piece. usually a screw etc... in the vicinity of the audio system. Just remove the wire and attach it to some other metal.

If you don't want to mess with your car audio, do the same thing to charger outlet. try to locate the wires coming into the charger outlet. One of them is ground. change it's location.

If you are not too comfortable with this, just as your car mechanic to do it. it is fairly easy if you already know which wire is what... so it should be an easy task for him.
[Nexus One Accessories] Paul22000:
So all car chargers with the N1 will behave this way? :eek:
[Nexus One Accessories] ChillRays:
Lord I hope not, I was in the market for a good car charger too..
[Nexus One Accessories] arkavat:
the problem is not with N1 but rather with the electrical arrangement in a particular car. I do not have this problem,but, unfortunately for paul, all chargers will cause this interference.
[Nexus One Accessories] martin0285:
Isolate the Ground!!! It's not rocket science, and it sure as hell ain't the n1....
[Nexus One Accessories] Paul22000:
So there's definitely 0% chance that it's the charger and getting a different one wouldn't make a difference?

I tried just plugging in the power, without any audio playing, and the speakers play a lot of metallic interference garbage. Unplug/plug in, plays weird sounds every time.
[Nexus One Accessories] xdZKu7:
Try this to know for sure:

1) don't connect charger, and play music through car speakers

2) use charger and play music through battery powered speakers

Both should turn out ok.

For information about ground loops see this pdf:

www.ebtechaudio.com/findloop.pdf

A ground loop is simply an antenna formed by the cable from ground, to your phone (charger), to your radio, and back to ground. The noise you're hearing when you don't play music is random noise from any and all radio waves that might pass through this giant loop antenna.

Think of all the stuff that emits RF noise: ignition/sparks, power supplies, phones, BT, wifi, electrical mains and poor connections. All these faint signals are picked up by your giant ground loop and amplified by your radio.

There are also some audio ground loop isolators, but I don't know how well they work.

[Nexus One Accessories] guiltyundertaker:
I know this thread is old and dead, but I just wanted to thank arkavat and xdZKu7 for their answers. I've had interference since I got my car and plugged my DHD into the aux in, and it's been driving me mad for ages. The sound is crystal clear until I plug the charger in and then I get some nasty alternator whining. I searched and found this thread last night, today I went with arkavat's answer and I found the cigarette lighter's ground wire and earthed it nearer by, now the alternator noise is gone almost entirely. I'm going to look into what I can do to reduce ground loop antenna noise also, although it's bearable for now. Thanks guys.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ro_bro:
I'm using IC3ROM 2.5 and also Helix launcher. works fine, except one thing. I want to change the wallpaper.

But if I use the built in HTC photo's app to select wallpaper, it force closes.

I tried to just use the wallpaper selection for Helix, but I only see one wallpaper with a leopard.

I tried using the last choice of using the wallpapers tied to the AOSP Home launcher, but I only see one wallpaper there also.

Does anyone know how I can add more images to the Helix wallpaper path? I tried doing a search in Astro for Helix or wallpaper and can't figure it out.

I assume that using apps2sd has somehow caused this to happen - just a guess though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kyouko:
the location of that wallpaper is in the actual helixlauncher.apk under the "drawable-mdpi" folder. You could try replacing it with the one you want as your wallpaper.

And have you tried replacing the htcalbum.apk to see if that fixes the problem of the FCs?

EDIT: Here's a metamorph i made so you can change the leopard wallpaper - if replacing the htcalbum.apk doesn't fix the force closes.

*Notice* com.helixproject.launcher.apk has to be located in /system/app/ for this to work so you may have to move it with adb

adb remount
adb pull /system/sd/app/com.helixproject.laucher.apk HelixLauncher.apk

*check to see if "HelixLauncher.apk" is in your tools folder now - if it is then...*

adb push ./HelixLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

Now it will be located at /system/app/HelixLauncher.apk so you can apply the metamorph.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbturbos:
I'm trying to fix my friends G1, I hold the camera button and power button and only get into the hard reset screen.

I've tried ALT + L and wipe date/factory reset then reboot system now and nothing. All I can get is that hard reset screen.

Also in the system recovery at the bottom it says E: Cant open /cache/recovery/command.

Any ideas? I wanna try to get this thing up and working again. It's bone stock, never got rooted or changed in any way.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I would try loading the original DREAIMG.nbh file onto the sdcard and then try the bootloader option and see if the presence of the nbh file "forces" it to go into bootloader....

Otherwise, I'm pretty stumped...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
I've just got a similar problem.

The ONLY thing I can do is entering the Android System recovery (2e) menu.

If I try powering off the phone and:

-Holding home = android system recovery with the reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition options.

-holding camera = same thing.

It seems like whatever I try with the little android experience I have and reding on forums high and low, I cannot get ADB working, it doesn't list my device OR connect using adb devices and adb shell.

When trying fastboot It's just waiting for device.

If I try installing from sdcard with the alt-s option it either says verification error (custom roms) or with the signed OTA/original roms it starts/stops like this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

This is VERY frustrating for me since I have NO idea what version is on it, the 1.5 or 1.6 original rom or some custom rom.

It seems like it's a "standard" rom onboard, but since I cannot get pass the "!" screen whatsoever, ADB doesn't work and fastboot is just waiting for better weather or something, I cannot verify ANYTHING.

I also have a Hero wich is flawless with ANY rom I trow at it, recovery image and radio.

So Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Heh, I really hope there is someone out there that REALLY can help me with this.

Thank you

I'm trying to edit the 26948339_manila file on my TP2, but it's 164k in size and Total Commander (2.52b1) has a limit of 64k - anyone have a suggestion on what program I can use?

Thanks;

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
I always do any manila file tinkering on my desktop PC instead of the phone...just copy the full set of manila files to a folder on your PC, edit them from there, and copy back to the phone. Much easier to manipulate, and to create a backup for safety's sake.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
Ok, I've messed up!

Tried to make the lines on the clock go away by overwriting files in the windows file by using resco explorer.

Now i suddently find myself in deep doo-doo.

My flip clock is now all white and i cant take backup off the files becuase it's says "The file is already in use...." or "Not enough space in memory...." (can't translate the exact words, sry).

Is there a cab that would make all this **** go away?

Im seriously almost crying, it feels like my whole phone is ruined :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Turn sense off and then restart the phone. You should be able to copy the backup files into your windows folder then (just make sure you use something like Total Commander or Resco Explorer - file explorer won't cut it).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
Yes, im using Resco and tried to reboot the phone, but still, it wont work :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Did you turn Sense off though? You didn't say.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
There is indeed a cab with the original flip clock - thanks to smaberg...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nobnut:
No worries mate. In file explorer change the name of your original (messed up) file... then copy in your new file... soft reset/restart Sense... delete renamed file.

Rock'n'Roll
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
And this should work even if i messed up in the windows folder?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
I wish, but the options for either delete or rename arent there :S

I'll try to translate what the error message says:

"3d076c02_manila is not a valid Pocket PC-program" or something like that
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
Well, this cab will at least install the original flip clock in your Windows folder.

Since I have no idea about the scope of the mess, I cannot guarantee anything.

On the other hand, if you only messed up with the flip clock files, this will be your solution.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
Sweet...

Seems like that did the trick, thanx buddy :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
And now, the reason why I played around i the windows file (Wont do that again!)

Is there any easy ways to remove the box around the clock?

I've got a transparent clock and think the boxes around the clock is annoying.

Is there any cabs for removing them?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
Yes... there is another cab... again by smaberg. His threads are actually a good start for some "basic tweaking and modding" your phone.

I can only recommend to go there. To remove the clock background, you will find there this, too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vafflus83:
Yeah, that I have done.

But the boxes are still there even if the clock are transparent if u know what I mean.

Just want the transparent box around the clock gone, so I just got the numbers.

Sry, if u dont understand, but i cant explain it in another way :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
Maybe you will find what you want here in this thread..., I think that the Lucida variations meet your request.

If you can do without sense, there's a ROM that's coming out for public consumption soon over at villainrom.co.uk called SuperHero, which is JIT enabled and super fast. :) If you donate there, you can get it earlier, as it's undergoing beta testing at the moment.

But it sure is brilliant.

Try going to: settings - applications - manage applications - market, then press uninstall updates and clear cache. Reset your phone and the Market should update itself.

That SHOULD get you straight. I'll try and find a link to where I read this first for you.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B6gSix:
ok today i copied about 5 files to my sd via usb cable. then held down the power key to reboot and held home till it came back on. it did not boot into recovery. so i pulled the battery out and tried again still nothing. i do have fast boot and i can still power on my device and use it regular jus no recovery.

i searched around ( xda search and google search ) and came up with this thread closest to my issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6101871 it made a little sense but does not quiet answer my issue. i am installing adb now incase this is needed in any steps to a booting recovery.

i am running the cm507 test 3 with the adw launcher and the google add on. yesterday i was able to access recovery but this morning idk wut happened.

Any help Please I Need recovery ( Im A Flash Fiend, I Need My Fix )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B6gSix:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
How come everyone reroots when they run into a situation such as this?

Did you even try reflashing the recovery image? That's fixes this 90% of the time.

Come on, if you accidentally put sausages on a pizza before you cooked it, wouldn't you simply remove them instead of throwing the pizza away and completely remaking it? o.O

Either way, glad you fixed your problem. Just, next time, look into issues a bit deeper before resorting to rerooting.

Hello,

I have MS Outlook and ActiveSync is installed and able to sync email, contacts, tasks fine.

But the problem is that all of this is on work laptop and I am afraid Exchange Server might accidentally tap into my private contacts and make them into public view!

Therefore, I've been searching for alternatives and found none!

I would like to have some program that would handle contacts with pictures associated with and any other added features.

Any thoughts?

Hmmmmmmine is labeled as Maps.apk not as com.google.android.apps.maps.apk in system/apps.

I wonder if thats why it wont install???

Edit:

I deleted maps.apk with Android Commander.

Copied com.google.android.apps.maps into system/app folder and it worked.

Must of been a theme that renamed the apk and didn't allow the update :)

thanks Daveid :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Right, the originally packaged Maps.apk is in /system/app, however (just like with the market) when an update is issued, that file is ignored for the newer version that is placed in /data/app - it would seem that EVEN GOOGLE THEMSELVES can't modify the RO status of the /system partition to update applications (without pushing a system update requiring a flash in recovery). So you may notice in /data/app (or /sd-ext/app if you use Apps2SD) com.google.android.maps.apk & com.google.android.vending.apk. It is safe to remove the versions Maps.apk & Vending.apk from your /system/app directory (or rename them if you want to preserve a backup in case...).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Nice info. It worked for me.

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Maps.apk /system/app/Maps.apk.bak
adb install -r com.google.android.apps.maps.apk

Also deleted the vending apk in /system, I wonder if thats the cause of the Market crashes...
