I think (hopefully) they may be talking about getting your corporate email through verizon, kind of like how blackberry does it. I dunno though, that would be lame to have to pay extra to be able to connect to your companys network.
[Droid Eris General] wcramernc:
Actually, it appears to have a few things that did not come with leak 3, like the 3d gallery and voice to text:

New support for voice-to-text entry.

− Whenever a text-entry box appears, simply tap the

microphone icon on the virtual keyboard and speak.

New Gallery application with 3D layout. View and share photos

taken with your phone and images from your online Picasa

Web albums.

Very cool! One question.....when we upgrade to the official 2.1 will it be able to root?
[Droid Eris General] korben dallas:
most likely not

[Droid Eris General] Dangerous Dave:
And THAT is a *****. Because the new software version # is the same as the last leak, which means Verizon probably won't push it through to your phone because it will think you already have it. Guess it's a wait and see thing. I suppose you could reinstall one of the older leaks and then see if Verizon will push it to your phone. Ya suppose that would work??
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
They already charge for this. It isnt something new. I believe the price difference is 5-10$, cant rem. BUT you keep your regular plan and still do corp email as I dont think there is a way for them to stop this from happening at the moment. From what I rem (this was almost a year ago) the Verizon rep telling me, its on the "honor system".
[Droid Eris General] Dangerous Dave:
Yeah, they ran that scam on us for awhile. They were charging us $15 extra per month (!) on top of the $30 data package, on top of our other regular charges, just so my wife could get to her work e-mail. Then we got her the Eris & I realized we could do the exact same thing (access an exchange server account) without paying the $15 extra per month. Bastards.
[Droid Eris General] orcsbane13:
there is no way to downgrade as of yet. Hopefully someone will capture the update file like when the Motorola Droid got its update. If the ota doesn't come to those I'd us on v3 we'll have to do it the manual way. Either way the phone is going to be wiped. Gonna be a lot of pissed off people after this update
[Droid Eris General] Dangerous Dave:
See, I'm not convinced yet. If you have leak V3 installed, I doubt you'll get the update, because the software version and baseband numbers are the same. The phone will think it's already updated. But what's to stop you from reinstalling leak V2 the old-fashioned way?? Then it should see that there is an upgrade/update available. I have a (kinda) unique advantage here...my daughter's Eris is untouched and still running the original 1.5. My wife's Eris is running leak V2, and my personal Eris is running leak V3. So to some degree I can just sit back and watch it all unfold. I have no reason to think my daughter's untouched phone won't get the update. Once it does, I'll know it's out there. If my wife's V2 gets the update and mine doesn't, then I'll reinstall leak V2 on mine and try again. Afterall, none of us really knows what's gonna happen until it happens. Man, I hope I didn't **** myself on this deal. I "resisted" installing a leaked 2.1 on my own personal Eris until last weekend when I called Verizon and they pleaded total ignorance about any software updates for the Eris. That just pissed me off, so I finally installed leak V3 on my phone (I had already installed V2 on the wife's). I'm anxiously waiting to see how this all shakes out. But I do hope someone captures the "real deal", so we who lost our patience can still get the new "official" 2.1. As far as the phone being wiped...I've got that down to a science now...not a problem.

I want live wallpapers does anybody know if we will get them or is the eris held back by its graphics card
[HD2 General] joshua1982:
Hello,

any idea on how to fix this problem ? This happens when I try to start IGo with Opera 10 already started. This is plain stupid considering the fact that my HD2 has 448MB of Ram. Its probably because of the archaic OS, but still if there is some fix please let me know.
[HD2 General] iwin2000:
Hi, I have the same problem, is there any solution?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
this is because sense cache's a lot of the free memory, making it not available. Try turning sense off and see if you can run both programs.
[HD2 General] Vrasidas:
I dont use sense but sbp mobile shell and have the same problem.. any practical solution??
[Windows Mobile Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
Hey guys, does anyone have the default HTC black theme, or can you tell me how to get it?

I installed a theme I didnt like, and was unable to install it, and with some application I installed I was able to remove it.

It wasn't completely removed because when I make phone calls the number pad is themed. It pisses me off because I am unable to see the name and number that is phoning me.

I have a bunch of manilla files in my windows directory, do I delete those? Do I just take the default HTC black theme in .cab form and install it? (If so can you link the cab?)

Edit: I'm on a touch pro btw, RAPH800
[Windows Mobile Themes] longice:
There are a bunch of threads out there with the HTC Black tsk file. Please search before posting.

To restore, you can try this: In Total Commander, select Hide ROM files. Then delete all manila files you find.

But this might not work completely - then your only choice is a hard reset.

Hi

I thought i would make this thread to show me preparing and painting my HTC Himalaya Black. The reason i want to paint it black is for two reasons:

-It will look better

-I have quite a few marks and chucks missing out of the plastic.

So i am going to sand the case down, hopefully get rid of the 02 logo at the top.

Here is a video showing you the damage i have on my HTC Himalaya:

I have sanded down the case. Pics:

UPDATE: my project will be delayed because i have lost my himalaya. And iam yet to get black spray paint.

I am looking for an application that allows me to send messages to friends and colleagues over BlueTooth who are within the 20 metre transmission radius of BT.

Do you have any suggestions ?

I have no data plan, and work in an environment where there is no WLAN, so BT is our only option to communicate :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SingleServingFriend:
Hi All,

For 2 weeks or so now I've been having an issue with my Hero's internet connection. Didn't notice specifically when it started as it only affects the 3G connection and I mostly get HSDPA in my area. I use WiFi at home anyway.

When the notification bar shows 3G, the upstream arrow flashes periodically but there is no traffic downstream. Market downloads fail, anything which requires an internet connection will timeout.

However as soon as it switches up to H connection, it starts downloading immediately. If I switch to 2G only GPRS and EDGE connections work fine too.

Around the time the issue started I was trying a few different 2.1 roms for the first time. Have flashed several different roms since and have the same issue. Currently using VillainRom5.5. I was already using Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but have reflashed this too. Have flashed the stock Orange RUU, RUU_Hero_Orange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriv er.exe, but the issue remains.

Didn't have a problem, especially at home, before trying the 2.1 roms. I have good signal regardless which connection I have, currently 3 bars.

Thought it might just be an issue around my house but have tested all over and it's the same. Became an issue this week as I was visiting Somerset and in area's without HSDPA. Had to switch to 2G only in order to get internet connection.

Have searched here and other forums but cannot find anything specifically like this, any help greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yan74s:
hello,

I had a lot of problems with connections (3G/HSDPA/2G) with loose of signal.

I tried a lot of ROMS to solve this problem. But It wasn't the right way...

In fact, My SIMcard was defective. I had to change it, and now all is OK.

I'm not sure that it will be the right issue for you, but perhaps It could be...

BR
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SingleServingFriend:
Cheers for your reply.

Have contacted Orange today, the customer services guy tried some stuff and asked me to test and call back. Hasn't helped so will call them back in a mo and report back.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Linnyuk:
Hi,

I am having a very similar issue and I am also on Orange. My issue started after around the time I flashed Villian 5.3 but I doubt this is the issue as I have flashed other ROMS since and have the problem. Have you also done the 2.1 battery stuff by *#*#4636#*#*? I did this around the same time the issue started and I thought it was because I had set it to GSM (auto) but I put it back to WCDMA but that made no difference.

My phone keeps showing 3G then swapping to HSDPA. This is both an my house and in the city. I always got H no matter where I was but now keeps swapping after a couple of mins or when I use internet. I've reflashed ROM, radios and tried a friends Orange SIM and I get the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rosso22:
I also have the exact same problem on the 3 network in the uk, definately not a sim problem as before I rooted and flashed it all worked perfectly. Hasnt been too much of an issue as most of my city has hspda coverage but if I go out of town its a pain.

Problem started as soon as I flashed a villain ROM and is present in all 2.1 ROMs I have tried although I have noticed that the legend ports seem more stable and connect a little better, so am currently running the villain 4 ROM. Updating the radio made no difference and I am starting to wonder if it is some thing to do with using a CDMA port?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SingleServingFriend:
Yeah I did try that stuff, I too have set it back to WCDMA Preferred. Now you mention it I guess my issue did start around this time too so its likely to be linked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Linnyuk:
It does seem too coincidental that we have done the same things and are having the same issues on Orange. I'm going to wait to see if ROM from the official 2.1 build sorts it out and if not swap the phone out. I've had Villian and now BeHero + and still have the issue. I've flashed different Radio's as well and that has not fixed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rosso22:
Ive had this problem for well over a month now, way before the gsm auto trick came on the forums and I started using it, I dont think thats the cause, dont think its a radio issue either as had it on two diff radio versions.

My issue started as soon as I flashed a eris port which as far as I know is cdma based and isnt that a different kind of network than we use over here??

Any devs want to chip in here and help some noobs plz? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kien:
I've always had this issue with Orange as well, regardless of ROM, prior or after to flashing. I thought it was just the Orange network capacity as when I use the phone out of peak hours (2-7am) its fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] petersandbach:
I have the stock Hero with 1.5, no roots or custom os & it happens to me on Orange UK.

No idea why, but don't think its to do with custom roms!

Yaeh i have the exact same issue, tried many different roms, including official orange roms. This issue started before i started playing with customer roms.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ChrisCoooo:
Just adding to the list. Same issue for me, Orange UK - not specific to any ROM (Stock or Custom)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
I'm going to join the party and say I have this problem too.

Although I didn't notice until I read this and checked, I just assumed Oranges 3G network was unstable in peak times
[Hero, G2 Touch General] my_space:
I too am on orange uk and tried this and experienced the same issue.

The solution is just reflash rom and radio (no wipe etc so data remains). That fixed it for me.

Also don't mess with *#*#...... settings
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SingleServingFriend:
I'm still having this issue, maybe it is just the Orange network thats to blame? Seems to be to a number of us cropping up.

Gonna get back onto Customer Services this weekend, see what they say this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kas206:
Same problem here. I'm on Orange UK too. Seems like an Orange network problem rather than a ROM problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Richie P:
Saw this on my G2 Touch Hero on t-mobile when using villainrom 5.2. Not seen it recently and don't think its related to flashing 6.0.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] SingleServingFriend:
Thought I'd update this.

Been living with the issue since posting, tried a few roms, all with the same issue.

Tried the latest radio, that didn't help.

Flashed EzHero rom few days ago and 3G has been working fine since! Don't know whats in this rom which might do that, it doesn't display the 'H' icon anymore which is the only visual difference. Might just be coincidence but either way glad its working consistently again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tookewl4skewl:
I've had the same issue here on the other side of the pond in Canada on the Telus Hero. I think it has something to do with the phone trying to default to the fastest connection. I'm assuming the providers don't want us connected to the faster networks constantly, so they have a disconnect on idle response; which in turn is being counter-acted by our hero's need for speed. That is one theory, but I have to include that when I first got my TELUS Hero, before rooting and installing MaDaCo 1.5 I would have stable 3G connections. Any ROM installed following the root of my phone has caused this same dilemma.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
This is a big issue on orange one which I have never got to the bottom of.

Now my phone seems to work 99% of the time but it always switches to H before downloading.

It might be something to do with Orange switching to new "next generation" towers. Apparently last time I phoned orange my phone was connected to two towers (only supposed to be one) so it was impossible to triangulate my exact position.

This might have something to do with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lb_lb:
Hi, few days ago, I have rooted my hero.. and i have such simillar issue:

When I'm using 3g, its ok till I run bluetooth or gps or wifi.. not always... in different configurations.. I don't know what it is..

In result after breaking connection if i run netcfg i see that rmnet0 is down, but if i get it up, i still have no connection... there is some way to manually check for 3g connection?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jogz:
Same problem

Hello :-) I have the same problem, Telenor network in Denmark...

Anyone of you got a working solution? I've tried to find a way to jump directly over 3g from HSDPA, or just disable 3g and enable HSDPA, but it seems not to be possible.

Please tell me if you found a workaround.

Thanks.

Sorry for the links would not let me put them in correctly.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkingTaco:
it would appear that way, and also there is about 4 other threads going that say the exact same thing.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PapaDroid:
My bad I didn't see them here in the Eris forum.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DS36:
I dont think this is right

Leak 4 version3 is not the official because i have v3 for about a while now and

-the radio version is not the same

-there is no pinch to zoom in google maps

-desk clock doesnt dim

-doenst have flan gallery(i installed myself though)

-nor did it have speech to text keyboard(installed my own keyboard)

but yes the rom version is the same

so lets not jump the gun here
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenestor:
It sounds like the final release includes new versions of Clock.apk, Maps.apk, and Gallery.apk, but that doesn't affect the build number of the OS. We just didn't get those updated apps in our leaks. So the overall package is different, but the Android build is the same.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ghtwish:
if there is a new version of Maps, wouldn't we have had that update already?? unless the update hasn't been put out on the market.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenestor:
And I'm pretty sure the market still thinks we're running 1.5, unless you're on a ROM that patches it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Imperium:
Excuse me if this has been covered before, but is there a way to backup the device in a way, that if i root it, and then flash some ROM to it, and i mess up or just want to go back to my previous state?

I read something about nandroid? But in order for me to do that, i need root. Correct? so, what if i want to "unroot" my device? and is nandroid suitable for the Desire?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Guitarfreak26:
What does nandroid actually do? Does it back up everything?
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Professor:
nandroid makes images of all of the disk, so it's a full backup, but it's having issues restoring those backups to the Desire at the moment. And yes, you'll need to at least get to the recovery menu to run nandroid for now.

The only other route of which I know is just backing up apps and data, and you can use Titanium Backup for that (or MyBackup, I think). Without root, when you restore the apps, you won't be able to tell the Market you have these things installed, though. Doing that still requires you to fully reflash and do some setup, though. I don't think there's a cut-and-dry backup and full restore method at the moment. If there is, I'd certainly be interested...
[Desire Themes and Apps] kuailan:
I am also in the hunt for a good backup application. Dont mind paying as long as work as it should. But i dont think there is any backup application that can backup applications (most of them maybe just supported some limited apps).
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Professor:
Titanium Backup will back up everything that's on your phone except for apps installed by the system (and those it'll try and backup if you're rooted). It's worked flawlessly for me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kuailan:
I am trying Titanium now at the moment....just wondering I have seen a lot of application backup options/lists?? but where is the options to backup SMS, contacts, etc?? I find the UI is a little complex.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Guitarfreak26:
So is the best way of doing it.. Backup.. Copy folder to pc...

Then when i wanna restore.. Install titanium. copy license and folder back?
[Desire Themes and Apps] abc27:
Titanium backup only does apps.

Personally I use MyBackup, it backs up settings, sms, calender, home screens, settings e.t.c. as well as apps and keeps market links intact.

Well worth the money.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Guitarfreak26:
Ive got both now lol! have to wait till i install a new rom.. ill try mybackup first then
[Desire Themes and Apps] stingerpl:
Oh, RLY?;)

Official Titanium Backup site says otherwise.

I just moved from one ROM to another smoothly with Titanium. I recommend it.

How to Backup you Desire before rooting it ?

You can try Sprite Backup but no application will work that well without root, sorry.

I think MyBackup Pro and Titanium are similar when you have the system app active.

WHY MUST ALL OF YOU CHANGE THE GREEN TO BLUE?!?!

no, but seriously, why is it that all the good rom makers change the default android green to blue? what is everyone's fascination with blue?

stop it. it's silly.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkingTaco:
Make your own ROMs if you don't like it. A lot of people happen to like the blue, maybe thats why so many people use it. Not everyone can cater to your specific needs when they make a ROM. Is it really that big of a deal?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
I meant this as kind've a light hearted post, just joking around and what-not.

but yeah, I am currently making my own rom, but in the meantime I've used a lot of other roms. It just surprises me that SO MANY people use that blue.
