[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Sinalis:
I recently acquired an HTC Wing and I've been playing around with it as it is my first smartphone. I noticed the setup and features of Windows Mobile 6.1 were a more appealing than the 6.0 I currently have installed. I was wondering if there was a clean legit way to upgrade to that version and how to take care of it. I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere.

Thanks for your time.
[HD2 General] stim141:
Haven't really seen a list of improvements over the original shipped ROM. What does it improve and what problems does it cause. Does the updated radio make any difference on 3G reception? Know that the scrolling/sensitivity seems to be downgraded. Post your result or a list of changes.
[HD2 General] sears1234:
I didn't response the poll, because I couldn't feel anything better or worse after I did touch screen sensibility fix. But I believe there must be something fixed in the new rom. (My company did samething even most of customers didn't feel or complain it :D)

So, my answer is yes to upgrade.
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
no difference except its lessl responsive... the screen and texting... pass it up.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
I updated my phone two days ago, and it crashed for the first time today. Things seem to run a lot smoother, tho the scrolling is a little bit off. You can adjust the screen sensitivity easily thru the registry. Swype finally works wonderfully. I haven't noticed any improvement over the 3g reception, but I have always thought tmobile 3g was sub-par indoors. Outside, its usually great. The main thing is that there are little tweaks floating around that you can use to adjust your phone to how you want it.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I don't know what the touch-sensitivity problem people are reporting is all about.

I think people are misinterpreting the removal of the excessive bounce on lists with loss of touch-sensitivity. All they did was have the list snap when in reaches the edge of the list hits the edge of the frame, this has nothing to do with touch responsiveness. AFAIK, touch works fine on the newest rom (the bounce was a nice effect though).

Hi all,

Firstly, forgive me, I am a newbie at all of this.

My ultimate goal is to upgrade my HTC Magic to

Cyanogenmod-5 V5.0.7-Test6 (05/20/2010)

forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2688-cyanogenmod-5-for-dreammagic-would-you-like-a-pony-v507-test3-05082010

My motherboard is a EBI1/32A (SPL = 1.76....) as I bought my phone from Hong Kong. I am currently using Firmware Version 1.5

I need to root my phone first. I am using this tutorial android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting] to root my phone. However the "Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom" and the "Magic modified recovery" links cannot be found???

Does anyone know where a mirror is?

I have used Daldroid, however when I get to the part where i type (in cmd)

"fastboot boot recovery-new.img" is comes up with, "cannot load" ?????

Why is it doing this?

Is this correct for rooting my HTC if i want to use CM-5???? Please correct me if I am wrong or direct me to up-to-date-tutorials on how to do this..

Thank you in advance

I dont know if anyone else is having email problems, but twice I had a problem with my yahoo email account, so basically I had the account set up and emails would download fine. but since I rarely read all the emails on the actual account I have like 6000+ unread emails. this is where the problem would arise with hd2, it would actually try to download all 6000+ emails, which would greatly cause the phone to lag even freeze. I decided to delete account rather than continue getting the same problem.

I attempted to change settings for email so it would not download all the emails, but could not find such a setting, for example only allowing hd 2 to download X amount of emails, instead of all....any help or suggestions?

tmoUS. by the way.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
I'm having a problem with my phone thinking and acting like a corded headset is plugged in. I started having the problem using ZenEXP-0.9.6OC and thought maybe it was a ROM problem then flashed over to fresh 2.1 to no avail. A reboot doesn't fix the problem and neither do the two other fixes on here. It does go away briefly when I plug in my USB cord but comes back shortly afterwards. Has anyone else had this problem? It's become annoying having to run out to my car to talk through the stereo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
Sounds like it is indeed a hardware issue. Sounds like perhaps some sort of short in the headphone circuit. I would suggest reflashing the 1.5 recovery image and bringing it to a store or trying to fix it yourself. I would try using a bright light to see if you can see whats causing it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
So I RUU'ed back to 1.5 and took it into Best Buy (Where I bought the phone.) The lady told me to jam a 3.5mm headphone plug into it and pull it out repeatedly. She said that that was all anyone could do. I attempted that and it fixed for about 45 seconds (Long enough to make a phone call) and then it cut back out again. I tried taking my phone apart to see if I could see anything and there were no obstructions. What I'm wondering now is if I could customize a ROM to allow me to disable the headphone port all together. I never use headphones with the phone anyways and it would allow me to keep this phone without running the risk of having to switch to 2.1 RUU.

What can we do with this leaked HTC EVO 4G ROM -

http://www.machackpc.com/featured/htc-evo-4g-shipping-rom-leaked-into-the-wild/
[EVO 4G General] xeno314:
Here's hoping for some good cooked ROMs at release that have tethering enabled regardless of the carrier option! (I know others are hoping to get the EVO versions of Qik and YouTube ported to other Android devices, though...)
[EVO 4G General] setite:
Seriously, an exe?
[EVO 4G General] jumaaneface:
thats how all cdma factory ROMs are. so that they can be flashed through an ruu.
[EVO 4G General] setite:
That is unfortunate. I hate EXE as you probably understand. I don't fully understand what ruu is, but I recall firmware files for my blu-ray player being .RUU
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
ruu is the same type of program used to flash the 2.1 onto the hero
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0jL5dwn-AE

Vid taken from Motorola Droid. Not sure how to embed it in this forum.

Playing around with Qik for a bit. I was under the impression that Qik is supposed to provide 2-way "vid chat", which it doesn't. It uses your Evo's FRONT camera (not the 8 megapixel cam on the back) or BACK camera to stream a live video to the web.

As you can see, there is noticeable lag. I don't think it's possible to view the live stream on another smartphone using either the browser or Qik. I can only view my live video feed from my desktop.
[EVO 4G General] nachyochez:
Streaming video hasn't been enabled yet, but *will* be a feature of the service in the coming weeks(ish)
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Video chat hasn't been implemented yet
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
Whats stopping another evo 4g user from opening your feed from his phone, and you vice versa while you are both streaming? It would be a few seconds off but eh, it beats waiting.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Well it would be something more like 1 minute off if you're both on 3G I'd think.

What was the problem?

Looks like it was a faulty boot animation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aman11dhanpat:
Hello all

i want something possible like multithreading

and on thread to be running all time (infinitely until application is exited)

it would be like this

after every X seconds it will check for an update

i tried it but it hangs my mobile

so is there any another alternate to use an infinite loop without hanging my app

sorry but i am very much poor in background workers and dont know how to work with them

thnx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
Use a timer.

Windows is an event driven OS. You do not have the right to hog resources waiting for a particular event to occur. Create a timer object, and set it to fire every x second(s). The function you provide as as the trigger/execute/action function, will actually perform the validation and carry out the action that is required.

Your application should take the back seat, and wait for it to be called. Meanwhile it will allow WinMo to carry on with its job....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aman11dhanpat:
Hi stephj

Thanks for your reply

could you please give me an example or some syntax for using it

looks like i really dont have right to hog the resources of windows :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htcvidi:
If you use Visual studio, you only have to put on your form a Timer object.

You define the intervall property in the property tab and you enable it.

In design mode, when you double click on the Timer on your form, visual studio create an empty event for you. All you have to do is to fill the event with your code.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
'htcvidi' has hit it right on the nail. (en Francais, "parfaitement")

Included is the code to do it, together with the complete application.

A trivial example that displays the current date time in a label on the form.

The value is updated every five seconds.
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
IDK why I cant find it. Maybe this is a newer version of spare parts but instead of "poping" up when I click an app they slide. In the menu I only saw a place to change it to fast animations but did not see a way to change the way that the window animations work (like when you click any app I thought spare parts had different animations available).
[Hero CDMA General] runngwlf:
Which ROM are you running? Is it 2.1 based? The documentation for Spare Parts states that some of the window animations are only available on 1.5 based Roms. That could be your issue
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
actually has nothing to do with spare parts. there is an update zip available on the forum to get the bounce and fade in/out animations. nandroid first and try the attached
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
Are you sure? I could of sworn that I would go under theme on spare parts and would pick iphone but maybe im crazy.

Thanks for posting it I will try it out.
[General Questions and Answers] regaw_leinad:
Hey guys,

I am currently working on a workaround to get root back from the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.exe that Sprint released for the HTC Hero.

I have figured out a way that will revert us back to root using a hacked version of one of the test_signed RUU's I have.

My main question is:

I need to edit a text file in a .zip signed by HTC, without breaking the signature OR changing the md5 hash. Can this be done?

I have tried many ways of going about this (including hex editing the zip) and have not made much progress.

Any ideas?

Any input would be appreciated, for I too "took one for the team" and updated with the released RUU, to the unrooted Sprint 2.1 Android release in order to test this out.
[General Questions and Answers] topgunn:
Nope, that would negate the reason for a check sum.

The hash is calculated according to the current file/s so each time you alter it/them/an archive you will change your hash....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magma9495:
Ever since I can remember for the first week I've had my nexus, my trackball has always lit up blue/cyan even without root for any type of notification I had. Yesterday I rooted successfully and tried to use trackball alert to change the color for notifications. After installing the app and patching the framework (I'm running CM 5.0.6) I tried to change the color. When ever I select a color other then cyan, blue, magenta, or white the track ball doesn't light up. No matter which of the four colors that work that I choose to change it to, the trackball always lights up blue.

Today I was out with my friend and noticed his nexus's trackball was lighting up green for new notifications and white for calls, I guess thats normal :P ; he has root but hadn't changed the colors with trackball alert. I told him about the app and he was able to change to any of the colors allowed in the app.

Is my trackball broken? whats wrong with it?

Thanks :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi|enko:
Sounds like all your LEDs aren't firing. If I'm not mistaken, it consists of 3 colors, Red, Blue and Green. Normally, for a stock rom, you'll see white flashing and blue when you're using bluetooth. If all you're seeing is Blue, Green, and everything in between, it sounds like your red it dead. (wow. . . that whole last part rhymed).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magma9495:
how would i go about fixing this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketlo:
Just call htc and technical support set up and advanced replacement you need a credit card and the google checkout email. They will guide you through the process. If you want to save some time just tell them you have already done a factory reset and the problem is still there and they will send you a new one and give you instructions on how to return your device to them
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magma9495:
Well, my phone is rooted so I don't think they will take it back, will they? Is there any other way like replacing it myself?

I have a EVO 4G from the Google I/O conference, but live in Canada. I obviously can't use it with Sprint. Can I:

flash it to Bell, which uses the same 3G and WiMax bands as Sprint. I don't know how.

put in a SIM (it's not GSM, but maybe there's some way?)

something else...
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
Ahhh, Looks like you should just sell it to an American like me who can use it right now!!!! LOL. does canada have any CDMA networks? wikidriod would know.
[EVO 4G General] isaacwaller:
Bell is a CDMA network, with the same bands as Sprint. It even has a 4G WiMax network, which also has the same bands as Sprint's WiMax network.

Check to see that the file \Temp\ATDbg0.txt has been created.

Return the values back to what they were (most likely 0) waiting the same amount of time as above.

Look in the ATDbg0.txt file and you should see a log of commands sent to the CDMA radio and there should be something like this somewhere in the file:

Code:

Tx:AT+HTC_RMSL=0\r

Rx:+HTC_RMSL: 354201\r\n0\r

Tx:AT+HTC_ROTKSL=0\r

Rx:+HTC_ROTKSL: 216112\r\n0\r

The numbers next to the Rx: +HTC_RMSL line should be your MSL. You may see a couple of different instances of this number within the text file - try one, if it doesn't work, try the next. The file ATDbg0.txt will either be in \temp or \ATDbg.

Hope this works for you.

[HD2 General] rysky007:
Hey guys, ive only been a Wm user and a smart phone user for a month now.

I have many of the same issues with current rom and freezing and so forth.

I want to upgrade to the new released Tmobile rom released a few days ago.

When i start the file up, it indicates that all data will be removed. and phone whiped like brand new.

1. Will this delete all my contacts?

2. Will this delete all apps I have d/l from market?

3. Will this delete all setting and configurations for email and calendar?

4. Is there a simple app to back all of those up if they are removed on rom update, that I can then run after i do the update and have everything back in place how I had it before.?

5. (off topic) is there any sim cards out there that can store more then 250 contacts? in teh case of the sim, 250 numbers. I have 284 contacts with many of them having multiple numbers.

Thank you for your answers and any advice you can give me on how to transition to the new update without loosing my data or settings and lay out and programs.

:confused:
[HD2 General] marmar82:
It will wipe your phone just like you bought it. You can back up most things, except settings. Contacts can be backed up by two apps already on the phone, the tmo backup app and microsoft myphone. The apps from windows market can be re downloaded and the market will remember what apps you had. If you saved installed apps on your sd card they will still be they after the wipe. (Still need to reinstall them) I wiped my phone a couple of times and really the only thing I back are my contacts and my sms.
[HD2 General] rysky007:
Thank you for the response, is there any program out there that will back up for example my email accounts? and twitter set up and those types of things?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
actually many apps dont need to be reinstalled.

Browse to the apps folder on the sd card (lets say samsapp)

Find the executable (samsapp.exe) and run it.

If the program runs and works fine, then all you need do is copy (as a shortcut) the executable to windows/start menu and voila, program can be run from start menu, or quicklinks, etc and didn't need to be reiinstalled.

Well I just flashed my phone to Ookba's newest ROM, and it's working better than before so far. But I knew I should've wrote it down, but I forgot most of the settings I was comfortable with.

Me and my wife have the Eris. no phones were rooted.

My phone was manually updated to 2.1 and my wifes was OTA.

before i go to bed i turn off the data signal and clear out all programs running with task killer. it was 60% charged, come to wake up in the morning and find that the battery fully discharged and had to plug it in the mains to switch it on. a few days after my wifes phone is doing the same.

would like some ideas from you guys on some of the reasons this may be happening. would love to provide you with more information... just tell me what and where i can get it from.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmprlrd:
mee too

the same thing happens to me but in a different manner. This started about 3 days ago as far as i could notice. While the phone is in my pocket it would randomly get really hot and most of my battery would be drained. This usually happens in the middle of the day. I have to shut the phone down and restart it and then I would not notice the problem for rest of the day. I have 2.1 V3 leak installed on my phone. any ideas as why this is happening?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaineerndixie:
Wow...that is strangely similar to what is happening to mine. It just started a few days ago as well.

I got up this morning with a fully charged phone (it takes all of 10 hours to completely charge, if it does fully at all) and after looking at facebook and reading a few news articles for about 2 hours, my phone was at approx. 60%.

This happens every day now and I end up chasing a charge all days between the ac adapter and my car charger. I'm getting sick of carrying my charger with me all day but I have to.

Mine is also getting hot. I first noticed this Tuesday as I was using Tapatalk while the phone was charging via wall charger and it got hot and just died. I had to wait about 30 minutes for it to cool and then it would boot up.

Like you said, this just started recently and I am also running Leak v3. I have removed all widgets and taken off everything I don't absolutely need off of the phone (apps, that is) but no change. Just as an example, I have had mine connected via usb to my work pc since 5 pm (it's now 1:20 am) and it is still not completely charged.

It gets to about 85-90% but will not close out to a full charge for hours. I just ordered a new battery today to see if I have just "overcharged" mine, so if that works I'm gonna get a premium (1750 mah) battery maybe and try that.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdg4891:
Very strange. I'd say within the past few days, my phone has had considerably worse battery life as well. Usually I'm pretty good about killing apps and there was one day where I forgot for most of the day.

I recharged it to full last night and have been killing apps and keeping an eye on it all day and it is still giving me poor results. I'm rooted and running a 2.1v3 ROM atm.
