Hey, I am all about making something better...its what I do. Hacking this stuff together and making it better than sprint could is top notch. But you aren't defacing the value of someones work here....like I said, your cell service doesn't pay the developer, the ads do. GPS location is a little extreme for any app that isn't geo-centric, but a little data never hurt anybody - expecially anybody with our plans.

Again, I as you, am not trying to get pissed at anyone, but advertising is the only way some companies survive, narrow margins are hell for anyone. Been there, done that.

And the acusation of piracy was stereo typical and short sighted, my appologies, I get heated - quick.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] smw6180:
You know...I was all set to jump all over you until I read the above. While I agree with KCarpenter that application developers should be paid for their work, I cannot disagree with what you said there...each time an ad-enabled application is opened it automatically opens a connected via your mobile network to an external site to load it. This does in fact mean that someone else is controlling what your phone does/doesn't connect to...

The only workaround I can see for it is to either not use ad-aware applications at all, or block the ads from being able to be run at all through a hosts file update. Unfortunately I can't see a way around it. Morally I'm stuck on two fronts. #1. I don't mind ads because they do support further development for some applications (the ones I like I purchase, ad problem goes away). BUT...#2. Having someone else force my phone to a site I didn't send my phone to grates on me.

In a perfect world, all apps would be donate-ware, or function limited until purchased. But this isn't a perfect world and there are way too many scum balls out there who would take someone else's work and freeload off of it. Hence the ads.

Bah. Moral dilemma. I hate moral dilemmas.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jlem26:
I don't think the ads are so annoying yet that anything would really be worth the trouble of blocking. Rarely do I even notice the ad when I am in it. It's one of those things that you just tune out eventually. It's a shame but some of these apps that run on ads will access GPS to get your location, I am assuming because the ad company is catering ads to your general vicinity. IMO this is overboard on the ads and each time it starts the GPS it is in fact using my battery. The only reason my GPS should come on is if I want it to. This was the tipping point for me and why I started blocking them. The ads alone are not that big of a deal, but just because I am opening up some cheap game or rss reader or something doesn't mean that I should have to give up all my personal rights. They can show me an ad, but stop following me around. Well, that's just my take.

As for the developers of the apps, I love these guys. If I didn't appreciate their work I wouldn't have it on my phone. I have no problem helping them out, I'll feed a hungry wolf in the wild but I won't feed it by hand.

Hello!

I just downloaded this game called doodle jump ...

and i recognized that something is wrong with my acceleration sensor or something because its a litte strange to play...

I checked it in the setting menu:

i have to hold my phone a little bit sideways that it says 0 degrees ...

is this normal ??

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
you can calibrate it... can't remember how now.. but have done it myself.
[XPERIA X10 General] MadMike10:
This would be nice ...

But I cant find anything on the phone or on the web

Does anybody know ??
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
try downloading a spirit level app... seem to remember that was what I used.
[XPERIA X10 General] MadMike10:
i can calibrate the sensor there perfectly .. but no changes on the telephones default adjustment and no changes in other applications !

???

so i Checked again now in service tests and I found out that it is only the X axis that is affected ... Y and Z are perfectly calibrated.. can pls some people check in their phone if their X-axis is calibrated right (phone in an upright position) .. Thank you !!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
I think that something it's wrong with you X10. Mine show changes in every axis all time :)
[Droid Eris General] iloveandroid:
So, I am probably getting a new eris tomorrow,s othat means I could root my phone which got me thinking, could someone make a tutorial on how to load a custom ROM (with a mac) on to my eris
[Droid Eris General] stopxstart:
This is ripped from Ivan's tutorial with OS X steps added.

Index:

I: Gaining root: an unlocked hboot

II: Prerequisites: Tools to flash

III: Flashing a rooted/modded recovery

IV: Flashing a custom ROM (rooted version of leaked 2.1 ROM)

I: Gaining root

An unlocked hboot will allows us to flash in a modified IMG ROM signed with test keys as supposed to requiring an official ROM from HTC. This will open us to be able to flash a modified recovery.

1. Download this file: PB00IMG.zip (md5: 63eacc5ede3b179f95dc22d8ef585f94)

2. Place PB00IMG.zip onto the root directory of your sdcard.

3. Power down your phone.

4. Hold Volume Down while you Power On. This should bring you to a screen saying "HBOOT" and some other stuff. Wait for it to load the image, and it will say Push Activate. Push the trackball button to continue. The process will take around 5-10 minutes. The first time your phone boots up it will take a lot longer than normal.

II: Prerequisites - Android SDK - These instructions are for Windows XP. You must adapt them to your version of Windows.

First we must install the Android SDK as it has the tools we need for both this walkthrough as well as to make your life in the Android world easier.

1. Visit the Android SDK site.

2. Visit the Java site and download the latest Java JDK.

3. Extract the Android SDK zip file into your root folder.

4. Go to the Tools folder and double click on android.

5. Click on Settings and check the box to force HTTP instead of HTTPS.

6. Choose to download the newest sdk platform (ver. 7 I believe).

7. Enable your phone's USB debugging mode: Settings > Applications > Development > check USB Debugging

8. Connect your phone via USB to your Mac.

III: Flashing a Custom Recovery

Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.

1. Download this file: Recovery.zip

2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.

3. Open up terminal and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:

* cd [location of your tools folder... drag and drop it]

* adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

* adb push recovery.img /sdcard

* adb push flash_image /system/bin

* adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

* adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"

IV: Flashing a custom ROM

1. Download the Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2 zip file.

2. Copy the WHOLE zip file to the root directory of your SD card. (You can enable USB-MS enable from your shiny new recovery to mount your phone as a USB Mass Storage device.)

3. Choose Wipe. Choose data/factory Reset (In the stock ROM, the dalvik is stored in the data and you don't have an EXT partition... yet.)

4. Choose Flash zip from sdcard. Find the eris_0_3.zip file.

5. Wait until it shows as complete and choose reboot system now.

I did this from memory, so forgive me if it's not 100%.
[Droid Eris General] t2noob:
Its basically the same thing for mac, if not easier since you don't have to worry about drivers.

Just download the sdk for mac, and then when doing commands just add "./" before them like

./adb shell

http://www.thefuzz4.net/home/AndroidPhones/Eris/HowToRootYourHTCEris.aspx

^^ that has some information about how to do it on mac.

Just remember for mac you don't have to worry about drivers.

[G1 General] domii:
Hi there M8s,

I've just acquired a used G1 lately and i was shocked with the battery life on this little fella and my guess was, it's used and the original user was one of these charger freaks who always plug their phones in charger all the time and so the battery is all messed up "4~6 Hours Max".

anyway, i googled around a bit and looked here and there and found out that it's actually an issue when it comes to the G1 battery with estimated 8 to 10 hours battery cycle "more or less".

finally i set out to try out an old trick that really helped me with my old trusty HTC touch "Elfin" and it's as follows...

1 - Fully drain the battery

2 - Take out the battery and the sim card and hold the power "End" button for 10 or more seconds "i have no idea why ?????"

3 - Put back the battery and the sim card and power your G1 back on and you'll find some more juice " :confused: "

4 - Wait till it cut off again.

5 - plug in the charger and power your G1 back on.

6 - as soon as the system loads and the home screen is there activate the wireless, Bluetooth & set screen brightness to full "if you use APNdroid to cut off your 3g connection, disable it"

7 - wait till it's fully charged and make sure from (Settings>About>Status) that it's 100% and not ninety something.

8 - if you got some more time leave it there for another hour or so.

9 - Disable wireless, Bluetooth and set the screen brightness to whatever you do.

10 - Take the G1 off the plug and start using it as you usually do

with me doing this trick with the G1 i got my battery to sustain a cycle of exactly 13~14 Hours from original 6 Hours when i first got it and i only did it 2 times so far and still to go...

i don't know if this will make any difference to anyone or not, but i hope it helps in anyway...:)

so try it out and tell how does it work out for you.

p.s. sorry for any English mistakes "not my main language"

p.s.2 this trick is also applicable to HTC Touch "Elfin"

Good Luck

"Hope it comes sticky ;)"

[G1 General] fleity:
sounds interessting, gonna try that too (3g connection stuff isn't necessary i guess, you only have to drain the battery somehow?)

might wiping the battery stats at some point help too?
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Or just do this:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Battery_recalibration
[G1 General] domii:
About wiping the battery status, it did help a little.

and for r3s-rt suggestion "Thank you" is also regrading wiping battery status which as i just said it does help a little "but might not help some"
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
You don't just wipe battery stats. You recalibrate the battery which in turn will usually provide the desired effect that you also get by using your method. It just seems easier to recalibrate than all of what you said. Not trying to compete with you, just pointing out a simpler step.

Also, just wiping battery stats without actually recalibrating does nothing. It's just a waste of time.
[G1 General] in_da_cloud:
I remember this guide when I still had my Touch too...

did you got this from saurabh???
[G1 General] domii:
nope i didn't get this from saurabh or any one else, it's just than i'm a developer and at some point i was testing something and through a power output graph i found that when charging "any" device while powering some major function such as wireless or Bluetooth it does push the battery beyond it's current charge capacity "if and only if the capacity was not matching stock condition"...

This is getting frustrating. I rooted my hero and installed the Damagecontrol 2.0.8.1 ROM specifically because I figured that 2.1 fixes the issue with sending mail via Exchange. The phone still does not send mail. It at least gives an error message, but the message is completely devoid of any real info.

Does anyone have any way to get the phone to send email? I can't believe that this has not been fixed in a whole year.

-Randy
[Hero CDMA General] bubbacs1:
Did a search on this forums only and came up with 7 threads.

Mail Exchange

I didn't read any as I don't use exchange.

But you might want to start there.

If that isn't enough, try search the whole of CDMA.

Thanks,

Bubba.

P.S. might try posting in Damagecontrol dev thread also.
[Hero CDMA General] zesta:
None of those threads mention anything about the sending issue.

I can't believe no one else is using exchange sync.

-Randy
[Hero CDMA General] jmoch2:
I am using exchange on Fresh 2.0d with no issues. My exchange server is running exchange 2003.

I have mail and contacts sync'd through exchange.
[Hero CDMA General] djorijun:
I'm having the same issue on my Exchange server. It has to do with plain text, if you reply to an email I bet it works. You're probably running something like Mail Marshal which is blocking the email. After you've sent a new email check the sent on your Outlook, and you'll see it's there. It's this leak because it worked fine for me on 1.5
[Hero CDMA General] pwc realtor:
It has to be your specific exchange server setup. I'm using Exchange Server 2007 via ExchangeMyMail and no issues.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I use both a 2003 server and a 2007 server and I have no issues sending or anything. Biggest issue I have is that GAL doesn't come to the phone, I have to search to find names instead of browsing a list.

I agree it has to be your particular setting. Have you tried checking/unchecking the ssl connection option? I think I recall reading that you could receive but not send depending on that option and how your server ia setup.

I have had no problems with the 1.5 or 2.1 software in connecting to my exchange server. What does your mail administrator say? They could easily pull the server log files to see what is going on.
[Hero CDMA General] zesta:
I am the mail administrator :-)

Additional research shows that it is a problem specifically with HTC devices. They are not properly implementing the protocol.

The app is setting the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" to "utf-8" which is invalid.

My mail server is Zimbra 6.x, which uses the Exchange 2003 protocols. My guess is that the true Microsoft servers either have specific support for the non-compliant HTC devices, or just happen to work because Microsoft isn't closely following their own standards (which happens more than one would think).

Looks like there is an unofficial patch to work around this specific issue.

Maybe some enterprising person can fix HTC's buggy app for them and include it in a custom ROM. I really like the HTC mail app otherwise.

-Randy
[Hero CDMA General] djorijun:
do you have access to this unofficial patch. I'd like to try it out.
[Hero CDMA General] fwhite42:
From what I've learned, this isn't specific to HTC, it's an Android thing. There was only partial support for security policies in 1.5 and now more complete support in 2.1. I've been successfully sending/receiving Exchange emails, contacts, and calendar items (sending and accepting) in both 1.5 and 2.1.

In 1.5 I had to have the Exchange admin change the mobile device support setting to allow all devices. In 2.1 he was able to change it back and my Hero then enforced a security policy that made me enter a PIN every time I unlocked my phone.
[Hero CDMA General] zesta:
There were some general Android-specific issues before, but this is specific to HTC's broken mail application.
[Hero CDMA General] zesta:
http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41145

All of the info and the patched file is there.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I am the Exchange 2007 admin here and I've never had an issue with my phone, on 1.5 or on 2.1 now. Both Damage's and the Fresh roms work fine to sync mail, contacts, and calendar items. I can send and receive just fine.

The global address list will not show up as a list, you will always have to search. That's the way it is implemented in OWA.

I would think that if you are not using Exchange Server, but someone else's implementation, it's not HTC that's at fault... It's more than likely the faulty implementation of the exchange clone.
[Hero CDMA General] djorijun:
I am using an Exchange Server that patch above isn't something I can use. I can receive emails, reply and forward but here's the zinger. when I compose it sends and the program known as mail marshal see's the email and stops it from sending. But when I go to my computer look in the sent folder the email shows up immediately. We've set Mail marshal to low and apparently the issue is with the Mail Format, and since I'm on 2003 the mail app doesn't let me change this option. I used Touchdown to see if this was the case, and BINGO I was able to compose without issue. Now I don't like the functionality of touchdown very much so I refuse to use it. Do you guys know of a workaround to change the mail format that's grayed out in the settings?
[Hero CDMA General] zesta:
HTC's implementation is obviously wrong, as indicated by the details that have already been listed.

It looks like Exchange Server is either not checking for valid message headers (which doesn't surprise me), or is specifically allowing the invalid Content-Transfer-Encoding header.
[Hero CDMA General] djorijun:
I see a different error, but my error is with MailMarshal. Does anyone deal with MailMarshal?
[Hero CDMA General] yadnom:
I ran into this issue at work with MailMarshal. You need to add an exception into MailMarshal to allow incorrect types through.

I did this a few months ago so I don't remember off the top of my head exactly where the change was made. (Not at work right now)

I'll let you know if I remember.
[Hero CDMA General] yadnom:
This is what I had to do to get it working.

sorry...can't post links yet.

Go to mailmarshal site: m86security dot com

click on support and search for Q10166.

Read that article, it should help if you want to implement it.

HTC Exchange email work around

I have the same problem with Zimbra 6.x and HTC Hero running Android 1.5 (unrooted).

Here is my work around:

1) use Exchange for calendar and contacts sync. Disable email sync in menu->settings->Data synchronization->Exchange ActiveSync by unchecking "Mail".

2) Download K-9 email (search for K-9 in the market).

Use K-9 (search market for k-9) to read your mail with IMAP. Your Zimbra server should support IMAP in addition to MAPI (exchange). The incoming server should be the same server you used when configuring the HTC mail tool for Exchange. The outgoing server may be the same or maybe different. Try "mailhost" or "smtp" if the incoming name doesn't work (or ask your sys admin).

Remember to configure to use SSL for incoming and outgoing.

K-9 supports push via IMAP IDLE (as I recall it defaults to push).

Also, since you are using IMAP when you read an email on your phone it will be marked as read when you return to your PC mail client. Mail sent from your phone will be added to the sent folder on the PC. In short, all the features you had using Exchange are available and working.

K-9 is a better email client anyway. Many more useful features.

One more note: The k-9 text was too small. The developers have recently fixed this, but, the newest version is not yet in the market. I am using

k9-2706-release.apk from code.google.com/ p / k9mail/ downloads/ list (remove spaces in link)

This version supports changing the font size.

I hope this works for you. I don't plan to go back when the Zimbra email bug is finally fixed.
