Its exciting because we'll have custom 2.1 roms based on the official 2.1 firmware for OUR phones, instead of just a leak. :)
[Hero CDMA General] AboveUnrefined:
That IS exciting, I think I made a poopie time in my pants! :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] R2D2-AKU2:
The true source of the "leak"?
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
I LOL'd :p
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
because it will fix the issues we currently have with all 2.1 based roms.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
Hopefully not, but it could create more issues/bugs than those fixed....just as the November MR did. I do have my fingers crossed that you are right.

[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
What is this nonsense that people keep saying?

Prior to the MR I had a phone that couldn't output stereo sound through headphones, would randomly miss text messages (that would disappear forever, even after rebooting--a ridiculously serious problem), would stay awake 100% of the time and had terrible battery life, didn't have an easy way to switch calls back and forth from speakerphone, and an unreliable camera that failed to focus most of the time.

What issues are you talking about that were newly introduced? They certainly weren't worse than the ones that I listed above because I haven't noticed any.
[Hero CDMA General] ramiss:
Guys, the source of this article is the XDA forum!! Their info isn't any more "official" than our own!

I was in best buy earlier and the two girls working mobile were joking around and not busy at all. So of course I had to go over and start chatting with them. It was my duty as a guy right??? Anyway, I figured that since I had seen this best buy screenshot I would bring it up. They both looked at me like I was crazy. One of them said that the Sprint Hero will never be upgraded to 2.1 and that Sprint and HTC never said it would be. :rolleyes: She said the Hero that looks funny, like has the funny looking bottom that is like the g1, that version will get the update someday. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I told her I had seen the screen shot from the best buy intraweb so she looked on her computer and said nope, no info on any 2.1 upgrade for the herol. :rolleyes:

It'll happen when it does, I don't trust any of the leaks anymore. Just happy I have 2.1 now and it works for me. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Hi,

Could anyone please explain the various settings for GPS in the "settings" menu (under "location")? I find that the manual and tooltips are not very informative.

Particularly, I don't understand the difference between the first choice ("wireless networks"?) and the third choice ("assisted GPS"). I understand that the phone may use wifi or mobile network to detect my position (instead of or in addition to GPS satelites), but I don't know which of the two options to choose for this.

Also: When I enable "wireless networks", what does the warning that pops up mean? It mentions that data will be collected even when no software (GPS/map) is running. What is that? And what is the difference between enabling this and the fourth option ("share with google")?

Finally:

Does your GPS immediately start working when you enable it? Myself, I need to enable/disable GPS using the desktop widget and the various GPS settings several times before it managess to find my location. (My position is not the problem - once detected/connected, it works fine.) I still don't understand which combination of settings it is that finally makes the GPS work as expected.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
As I understand the first option "Wireless Neworks" will rely entirely on data from Cell Towers e.t.c to determine your position. I guess this will be less accurate.

"Assisted GPS" enables your device to get a faster lock on your location by collecting available data from cell towers first before using the GPS receiver.

I think if you were only to activate the GPS in some circumstances it would take a lot longer to get a fix.

"Share with Google" just allows the gears addon within the browser to share your position with google allowing them to return results based on your location.

That's my take on those options.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
"Wireless Neworks" - is using cell towers and wifi to locate you.

Probably they have (or use a 3rd party DB) for that. Anyway, is not (very) accurate.

"Assisted GPS" - i'm not 100% sure but i think is connecting to a location server to get the location of the GPS satellite so, will lock faster (at least this is what my Nokia 5800xm is doing).

The warning message you get is because google will (most likely) use your location (cell towers and wifi spots) to create and update their own database so, phones without GPS will still be able to use google maps.

Well, they probably do something more with that data but who knows what :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I just wanna add that using any type of assistance for the gps chip in this phone is (in my personal oppinion) unnecessary. I am sitting inside my house, in my bed(with a window behind me) an in 10sec i get fixed on 10 satellites. Not much that can beat that ;-)

in addition, i am in the bottom floor in a 2floor house so it is alot of roof and cealing between me and the sky.

[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

Just curious - which app do you use to monitor GPS satelites?

Also, does everyone's GPS find your location rather quickly after enabling GPS? I usually get the message "Your current position is temporarily unavailable", I retry, same result, I retry, same result ... Only after I disable/enable GPS several times, my position can be found.
[XPERIA X10 General] ShadowFlare:
My GPS usually finds my position rather quickly first time I switch on GPS. I have aGPS (Assisted GPS) enabled too, this way your phone gets help on locating the sattelites position from your mobile provider, hence locking onto GPS signal faster (is to my understanding).

Plus, if you're standing in an area with tall buildings, your position will be less accuratelly pin-pointed, bouncing GPS signal and all.

I never turned on A-GPS on this phone. There is no need for A-GPS.

This phone have fastest GPS fix of all phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] RoryB:
I have noticed when I am running on 3G (H) I get the "location temporarily unavailable" notice, but if I force it to not go to 3G it will be E and I get my location. This holds true if I have setting for using GPS or not.

This seems to be a problem with Google Maps using the data transfer method of 3G (H) versus E.
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
Hi,

if i push power-button during gps-logging my gps-fix gets lost when entering standby.

If i only lock my phone and then let it go to standby after lockscreen-timeout, gps-fix still there.

What´s the difference between this two standby modes?

And if i only send a "screen-off"-command, will my HD2 stay wake up only with blank screen or will it go to regular standby after some time?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
I spent 8 hours for this:-( in photoshop.

I made an animation of all the 49 images where this animation made of. What an awful job to line everything right...but the result is stunning!!

As the images are rather small I rotated them 90 degrees to keep visibility of it and streched them to 480x800. So instead it starts from the outside left and right on your device it starts from the bottom and top. I made an interval of 0,06 seconds per frame, which looks the best in my opinion.

I saved it as SEMC1904.gif in the zipfile.

For Xperia X1 users, just place it in your windows folder and overwrite the existing file.

For other users, rename the .gif file as you need it on your phone.

If some one can make a cab of it, so it will install on all wvga devices, please let me know and I post this in the first post.

Beware there are 49 images in there, so the file is 3,5 MB instead of the default Xperia one of 554KB (7 times more).

SO YOU NEED 3,6 MB FREE SPACE ON YOUR DEVICE!!!

I can't take a screenshot from Starting the device, but here is one of the photoshop made ones, I will not post all 49 if you don't mind;):

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElCondor:
Really good contribution, I know what pain it is to create such a complicated animation!
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Well, it's done and it looks really colourfull!!:D

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
COOL PollPixx i will download now and try it will write comment leter,

You did it:)

P.S After a Test on Blackstone the Animation is really Heavy and not runing smooth the Animation i think can be around 800kb maximum and with less delay to run faster and smooth
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Okay, I can make it faster, no problem, but how to decrease the size of a gif it to 800KB keeping the same resolution?????

EDIT: It runs now twice as fast, 0,05 seconds a frame, edited the zip file in post 1. Does this help?

Otherwise I know a lot of photoshopping, I grouped all files together but can't get it less MB without resizing the resolution...

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
the resolution can be the same but the Animation to be ligther i will explain you how.

for example there have 95 images but they are big size because are Hight Quality images, honestly on our devices we can`t see the big diference with naked eye so what can be done is for example using Irfanview open image 1 and save as but when you save as just dicreasse the quality from 100% to be like 85% this will make the whole image 10 time smaller when all is done with all the images and they are made in one single gif animation the total size of the gif file will be too 10 times smaller and also i open now your animation with all the files there is not need i speak for a blackstone 95 frames because no matter how fast is the animation you dont have so much time when the phone start up have time only to play it once i mean to loop the whole idea Once so in this 95 files the whole idea is looped 2 times witch is not usefull i chek it out from frame 1 to frame 49 including is the ONE LOOP that is needed i did a gif and when i test it yes the animation loop only once and my phone is ready not have time for 2 times looping this gif.

If you do this with dicreasing the images quality the final gif file can be even under 800kb and also the gif animation can be made from many sort of images files i mean not only png if they are Jpg will work too:)

i chek it out with 03 delay is super fast
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
so I only need image 1 to 49:mad::mad::p (goodbye a few hours of spare time hahaha)

Well, that decrease it a lot, don't it....will work on it now...

Edited zipfile, now 3,5MB.....will test it now on x1

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
Yes because in all this 95 frames the whole animation loop 2 times so if you have from 1 to 49 the whole animation will loop Once and will be withthe same quality like this one with the 95 images the diference is how many times will loop the animation but like i sa you dont have time for 2 full loops. so its uselless to be used 95 frames
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
okay, didn't noticed that, otherwise I wouldn't went through all the hassle.

Anyway, I tested it on Xperia with just one loop on 0,05 frames a second and it works fine. I just left a fraction of a second watching the black screen on the end of the animation, so it is fine.

Thanks for your assistance in this one. This was the first time I modified an excisting Boot Animation, therefor a couple of bugs where in it. Now it is working fine and with 3,5 MB my xperia doesn't slow down or anything...

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
No problem:)

Then if you do it 06 ms delay all will be fine:) i mean u will not see a fraction of second the black screen anymore, but this all depends from the device and many other things... so same device the one can boot for 2 sec the other for 2.5sec so you can`t make it to be good for everyone:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
The bad thing is that we can`t make it like real Android and i dont know why heheh

see what i mean.

Once befor a few mounths i flash my Blackstone with Android 2.1 and when the device start up the Animation was Super perfect i mean really Hight Quality and was WVGA like it must to be i mean not like now they colours to appear from top and bottom they was from left and right and the speed of the animation and colours was more than perfect for this reason i asked befor can anyone make it we to use under window.. but.. the quality the speed and everything is not the same :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Well, it's the best I could do with the images which are around on the internet.

Cheers,

[HD2 General] carajean:
I was just wondering because my weather app for some reason is worse than the first hd2 I got. This one will not update if you tell it to. It will only update when it wants to. It seems on this new hd2 if I have anything that needs updating it doesnt ( google maps, weather, and my reception ) or accurate location. My google maps couldnt point me around the corner if it tried.

Could be just another problem.

I do have 3g signal and wifi going on it right now. So in all theories it should update with the correct weather. Instead it keeps yesterdays weather forcast and that was updated at 6:04pm
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The weather app will have issues updating whenever it can't find your location via aGPS. Since you're saying that gmaps is having issues too, it sounds like you're having GPS issues in general on the new unit.

I would start by running QuickGPS once, and then make sure your GPS settings both on the phone and in gmaps are set to "managed by windows"
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you sure about agps? it's my understanding that my location gets its info from cell tower info,
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah you're right...it's the location service that it uses, not the aGPS, I goofed. However, sometimes I've had trouble getting my location to update after a hard-reset until I get the full aGPS/GPS connection working in something like gmaps. Not sure why, but that always seems to kick-start it in to behaving.

Now, I did just see the OP mention in another thread that they're having trouble with 3G general, so that's probably more the issue than anything else.

[Desire General] gizmothemighty:
Hey folks,

I've recently found out that sometimes when I post a picture from the phone to Picasa it is not completely loaded, meaning the lower bottom of the uploaded pic in Picasa is grey. This happen only for photos that have a fine or superfine resolution (ie never happened for photos 640x480 or 1024x768) and then only for some pictures.

There is no error raised during data transmission from Desire.

Initially thought this was a data receive problem on Picasa server but repeating the upload from the phone of pic in Picasa looks still incomplete.

The same photo moved to PC and loaded from Picasa web interface shows no such issue.

I wonder if anyone else had the same experience and if a solution has been found.

I'm using HTC Desire stock (unbranded) firmware 2.1-update1.

Cheers

[HD2 General] SteveDeckchair:
I have the backlight set to automatically adjust, but when I am using my phone in the dark, I like it fixed at 10%.

Rather than going through 6 screens to manually update it every time, I would love it if someone could come up with a button (like the WiFi switch on windows market place), so that I can just hit a shortcut on the today screen and the auto adjust is toggled on and off.

The registry entry that turns the auto adjust on or off is called

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight and the key is Light Detect On

Any pointers or help would be appreciated! :)

you can make a link that opens the backlight page directly.

[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Could be from a bad card to the card not mounting correctly.

Here's a few things to try:

1. Turn the phone off and reseat the SD card.

2. Back up everything on the SD card and repartition it (that will format it as well).

3. If those don't work, you may look at replacing the SD card.
[Hero CDMA General] ramiss:
Well, you need to narrow down the issue: If all of the messages were while using the same card then get a new one and see if you get the error again.

If you never get the error again then it was the card, if you do then it is the phone.
