[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
Hi all,

I see that the "unofficial" official Android 2.1 update for the Sprint Hero was leaked out a few days ago but unfortuantely this does not install on the UK Hero.

Is there anyway to force install this ROM onto the UK Hero? Im a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing Android handsets.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graey:
If I remember correctly, the Sprint Hero is a CDMA-device, so the 2.1 ROM is built for different (albeit very similar indeed) hardware. So it will not work (not properly, if at all) even if you do get it to flash. But rest assured, now that the official Sprint 2.1 ROM is out there, ROM cookers will probably dissect it and make it work for the GSM Hero.

And I believe now that the official GSM Hero 2.1 update isn't far behind anymore, just a matter of Google approving of it (and since HTC gave each localized version of the Hero its own SKU, Google has to approve of them per localization, something HTC has since fixed by using one SKU internationally for the Legend and one internationally for the Desire, but sadly, this is why updates for the Hero roll out so sporadically).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieranc:
if it were useful, it would have been ported already. it's entirely possible you could force it to install but that could leave you with a non-functioning phone or one that's un-rootable... personally I'm gonna wait for the final release from here, once it's safe and tested. have patience!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
i wouldnt even bother using a 2.1 rom untill we have a fully funcional kernel from source.Last night HTC Tweeted that....

So we will mroe than likely have to wait for there release of 2.1 before we can even get a taste of that sought after kernel

Hi!

I'm working on a wallpaper changer program what's change the today's and/or the Sense's wallpaper in a specified time (10-720 mins). But when the device goes to sleep (suspend) mode, the program goes to sleep as well and does not change the background. How can I tell the WM to wake up in the specified time and let the program to change the wallpaper and then goes to sleep again?

I googled a lot, but can't found a proper solution. I found unattended mode, and many other stuffs, but those are not good for me. I need a notification-like event what happens like alarm and I can detect it in the program, change the wallpaper and let the WM sleep again.

I'm writing the app in VB (VS2008) with NETCF 3.5, but I can understand C# codes too and I can convert it to my own use.

Thanx for help, if I get any!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Did you try runappattime, i am using these function in my apps to wake up the device and run the app so there is no need to keep the application running in the background.

If you want i can share my custom c# dll which i use to do all my scheduling thing.

[Desire General] rhath127:
hi guys,

I wanted to know if the htc desire has the same signal issues as the N1, where the antenna is at the bottom and shifts when held over the back side.

Is the OS all the same as in Android platform - which means can be hacked and rooted like the N1?

Also what language does the android use if I wanted to learn how to create apps and stuff?

thanks

Why HTC doesn't make their ROMs Fast and Stabe like xda developers does? We all can see it is possible !?!?!?! I have done some tweaks that i found on this site , installed Co0kie's Home Tab disabled the weather animation... my HD2 is flying!

I'm using a stock ROM version 1.48 .
[HD2 General] Budan Andrei:
upgrade to 1.66 ROM stock and if you like stock wait till next 1.72 i'ts out for europe(unbranded)
[HD2 General] jujoo:
With 1.66 i get that message - "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device". And there is nothing new.

http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all

I'm downloadig updates from this site because i'm from Bulgaria and it is not in the list of countries on htc.com

My point is - they can make ROMs run faster and stable but they don't.

Hi, When I try to send an SMS text message I now get the following error message:

"The file 'Messaging_Client' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"

Does anyone know how (apart from a full reflash) how I can get Text Messaging working again please.

Many thanks.
[HD2 General] Alpha4:

Looks like a ROM reflash is the only way to sort this.

I'm new to this whole droid rooting thing....and I jumped the gun a few weeks ago with this whole update thing. I'm not sure if the version I install is rooted or not. So my question is, How do you know if you're rooted? Thanks in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jsarn1:
Open up a command terminal on your pc while your phone is plugged in. Type in cd C:\abc. abc is just the path to your tools folder in the android sdk folders. remember to use \ instead of /. After this just type in adb shell. This will either put a $ or a # on the screen. If the $ shows up that means you are not rooted and if the # shows up you are. If the $ shows up, try typing in "su" and if you have root the phone will prompt you to allow access and the # will replace it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
an easier way would be by looking at ur app and checking if u have an app called superuser

I have an HTC Touch Diamond... I have a question on the texting (sending SMS) settings.

Below is the synopsis

I like threaded conversation. But, I don't want all my SMSs to be saved by default. Instead, I want my HTC phone to ask me every time as to whether I would like to save and send the sms or only send the sms. Is this possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kujars:
I have found the secret to getting the HTC Hero to send and recieve MMS on nTelos's network for all you impatient customers who have already rooted your nTelos Hero.

All you really need to do this is the android SDK you used to root your hero.

I will post the instructions as soon as the mods lift my lock that prevents me from posting outside links. I have no outside links to post but it sure seems to think the MMSC server for ntelos is a link. LOL

If we have andriod rom ,i will never use WM!

I wanna by an andriod,but ,but ich habe nicht geld.

wm is so damn bad!it will be less and less software to support it,just like palm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicai:
not so sure about it

have you tried android that you can speak so ?

i asure you i DID tried android, and the phone ended up with my wife, as android is still in its baby shoes. toooooo many things to work out to be user more friendly.

the same thing as difference between windows and linux os. i am not saying linux is bad, it is not just for masses. not user friendly, and very small ammount of software (still !) after more than 15 years developing look where windows came, and where linux is ?

i am not saying androind is bad, it is just not developed enough, and it will take long time to reach this level that WM has.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
actually all works beside camera..but the devs are working hard...i use android 2.1 a lot...i use windows mobile only to boot android :p

try a new bulid with new rootfs and zImage and all will be fast
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Why did you buy a WM device at all then?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
i bought a wm device because is nice having wm...i can do what i want...for example i can boot android,rhobuntu and because i love the diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] farukb:
well i'm pretty sure you never worked on/with a linux....try ubuntu and you'll never come back to windows (except for some professional applications like 3ds max/autocad).....and for android....even it is younger it kicks wm's ass,totally
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
exactly my opinion...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicai:
yes, you read my life history! exactly you know what i have done.

so i guess over a year with ubuntu, kubuntu or many other distros is not enough. or maybe unable to make no name scanner work in the office with linux os is not enough .. nooo, must be the smart card reader and el. payment software not working on linux are considering as prof applications :D

i am talking about basic office use. nothing else. but more the next-next-next-finish use.

for example, make vpn connection with mschap, and header comperssion on windows. it IS next next next finish, on linux ? you have to add 3 modules, and compile the kernel (YES on ubuntu!) .. is THAT user friendly? and that is professional usage ?

you missed my point, i am not saying it is bad, just VERY slowly developing! and on windows everything much easier to do.

but then again, we are not talking about linux and windows, it is wm and android, yes simmilar, but then, why dont you get android phone, and not force it on diamond, someone nicely said "everything is working except .. " yes, kicking ass full time :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
for me is working good...i hardly ever use camera..and i find a lot easier doing thing in android..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cooljais:
I agree, WM is much more user friendly than Android as of current situation. I know Android is good looking than windows but at some places even I have experienced that it could do much better. I guess it'll take some time. Even WM wasn't perfect at start... it took time to develop into something so user friendly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kakaraka:
Droid sux big time

I've just tried the HTC Incredible (kind of the better version of Desire). Such a waste to put Android on that great device...

Although fast overall, the interface is sluggish at times and confusing. It was so easy to screw around and get to a totally different page/app that what I wanted. But maybe that's because it takes time to get used to it.

However, the most horrible thing was trying to watch a video on it... even a dumb Youtube video looks awfully pixelated and it was struggling to get what looked like 15-20 fps.

After all, how many of you saw a proper video player written in java?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catdog:
I powered down my beloved Diamond friend for 2 years three weeks ago and booted up into Android on a brand new Desire.

It reminded me of old times with Nokia 6xxx phones, how responsive and simple to use they were. I gave this up on WinMo and got used to fairly temperamental MS system, with its random delays in answering phone calls or dialing contacts.

But with Android that Nokia responsiveness is back, it just flies as if it was designed in Finland.

When acquiring Desire I was ready to give up on some of the functionality that was readily available on WinMo 6.5 but to my surprise I had to make very few consessions. There is actually quite a lot of new features/capabilities specific to Android, which I found really great.

I use my phone mainly for work, utilize most of the communication features frequently and can confess that Android powered Desire definitively lowered my blood pressure. It is dependable, great workhorse with hopefully bright future.

So concluding this little switch over account I am glad that we have a choice now and that smart phones can be made into well working communicators and wish that Microsoft got the WinMo 7 right, the more competition there is the better for us.

Although knowing Redmond I do not pin my hopes too high eventhough I know from internal sources that they are in a sheer state of panic over the mounting losses in WinMo marketshare.

download uspl - 1.11.cmon (dump the one you already have and use this one)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=41246&d=1181558635

* if you have an SD card in the device, take it out..

* put these two .cab files on your device and run them..

- Cert_SPCS

- EnableRapi

* get activesync connection to pc..

* start_uspl.. (runs a dos window on pc)

* screen on phone goes blank..

* soft reset when startuspl is 100% to get new activesync connection.. when the rom update utility window opens on pc.. just ignore it while you soft reset..

* now run rom update utility..

***ONLY after doing uspl is it safe to flash a rom..

when you have done uspl on your device startup you will see..

SPL: 1.11.cmon

* its done.

now flash any rom to your device..

I'm going to spain on holiday for a couple weeks. (I know luxery :D)

But I do want internet when I'm there.

I want to buy a Huawei E160 USB-UMTS dongle.

And then I need a (UMTS) SIM card and an internet subscription.

Do you know company's who have prepaid cards?

I've searched, but only found old threads.

One thread of 2 years ago speeks about Movistar.es

That costed 21 euro for 4 weeks unlimited internet.

I'm also looking for that.

Is that still possible, or are there better alternatives?

Hope you can help me.

Thanx in advance!
[Networking] josealb:
hey! I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and have done some searching. It looks like the best option is buying a yoigo prepaid card. costs 3 euros every day you connect to the internet and you're allowed to download 100mb, then your speed is reduced to 64 kbps.

I was just looking for the same thing in the US, I'm going to cali in vacation and will be taking a nexus one to use it as gps, find hotels etc. do you know what options I have? :D

Just out of curiosity, where in spain are you going?

PS: here's a link http://www.yoigo.com/tarifas/internet_para_llevar.php
[Networking] TurboX2:
At&t used to for $20.00 a month.. untill the iphone came along and screwed everything up.

But i see that in europe you have to make a contract no matter if you want a phone from them or not.

In america, a plan and a contract are different things,

If you go to a cell phone company provider with your own phone, you do not need to sign a contract for 2 years to use thier service plans.

I am also going to spain (galicia) this summer, and i was going to call about that.

(And im sure you know, that At&t and T-mobile are the only GSM provider in the US)
[Networking] josealb:
You don't need to make a contract in spain to get a prepaid card. Only thing you need to do is give them your ID for security purposes
[Networking] D.O.C:
that is right, it is not worth paying an 18 month contract if you are only staying here a couple of weeks, Personally I would recommend Vodafone cause they have better internet quelaity connection (at least in southern spain), and they offer prepaid sim cards and usb modems without a contract (although movistar, yoigo and orange offer them as well). The question would be, what part of spain are you traveling to and wich company has the better internet reception on that area... if you are traveling to rural areas, I would stick to the 2 major companies (Vodafone and Movistar). Hope it helps.

I'm going to Salou, about 150km south of Barcelona.

Thanx for your answers.

I hope yoigo has coverage over there.

And are there any other alternatives?
[Networking] gengt:
Hi,

I'm from Reus, a city near Salou (about 8km). The UMTS coverage in salou is good for all the service providers in spain.

My mobile ISP is Simyo with good prices, the only inconvenience is that don't have physical shops to buy prepaid modems/sim. My voice provider is Yoigo and they have good prices too.

My advice is that you go to a ThePhoneHouse shop, there are Vodafone, Orange and Yoigo, and they will tell you which solution was better.

You can find thephonehouse in tarragona (10km from salou) and Reus in

http://www.phonehouse.es/app/searchStore.do
[Networking] ronh:
Ok, I hope so that the coverage will be good.

And how are Vodafone and Orange? Are they more expensive and/or better?
[Networking] josealb:
Vodafone will almost always give you the best coverage, at a higher price. Orange is cheaper and with a little les coverage, Simyo borrows the network from Orange so its coverage will be the same at best.

I didn't know Vodafone offered prepaid cards, if they do I'd recommend you vodafone

PS: Offtopic, Salou is cool, I've been there in vacation often but it's full of tourists, I would recommend you to move a little bit if you wanna see more of Spain than beaches, maybe driving up to Barcelona
