floaties in solution is this normal?

I just got my Zaggs full body kit and noticed that there are some things floating in the solution. Ive used them before but this is the first time with a pump kit. Since the others ive used were sponge I never noticed this before. Kind of nervous to even use it as I would hate to have all that crap stuck between.
[Desire General] mrdo:
this morning all of my alarms failed to go off for some reason. i'm very lazy / a heavy sleeper so it's a miracle that i woke up at all.

the only thing that i can think of is that the phone was being charged / in a dock this morning - does anyone know of any settings that would stop the alarm from sounding when the phone is being charged ?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Two questions:

1. Was the phone switched off? If so, the alarms won't ring.

2. Do you use a task killer? If so, killing the clock will stop alarms from ringing.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] mrdo:
hey dave,

[hangs head in shame]

now that you mention it, i DO have a task killer that i rarely use EXCEPT for last night. for some reason i think i was mucking about before i went to bed and i killed the clock to see what would happen. sense crashed and restarted and i thought nothing more about it ...

mystery solved (hopefully) - thanks !

Hey guys, does anyone knows what does HTC meant for the following reply? I tried to get HTC Singapore to flash my Desire (which is a Europe set) to an Asia ROM. They replied -

"However,to reflash different area ROM is not part of the service.Regarding the system version, due to MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement we have signed with Microsoft, we are sorry that HTC will not be able to change the ROM version for PDA phone. The version of the system will be restricted to the shipping country or area."

Any reason why Microsoft is involved?? :confused:
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Microsoft isn't involved.

This just highlights the problem that HTC's support departments worldwide are very poorly staffed and/or trained, and are basically clueless.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Moustafa217:
could it be that it was an automated reply?
[Desire General] howlep:
ms and htc

or maybe something to do with the agreement htc have with ms over android licensing???
[Desire General] EroThraX:
That is exactly why and exactly what the support personal said.

Any flashing we do ourselves is our own business but HTC have licensing and patent issues with Microsoft so presumably they have to agree on what is present in each ROM for each region, so they can not just ignore that and flash a different ROM that isn't for that area.
[Desire General] abc27:
Just reflash it yourself.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Sorry - but I think this is just nonsense with respect to Android based phones.

If you have ever had any dealings with HTC support personnel, you will know that most of them do not have a clue what they are talking about, and know even less about licensing. Here's part of a response I got from HTC support after requesting the Hero kernel source code (before it was released on developer.htc.com):

Quite simply what is probably happening here is this support agent is under the mistaken belief that you are referring to a WinMo phone - this isn't uncommon, because even when you tell them something directly, they tend to ignore it and refer you to canned replies.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] EroThraX:
It certainly isn't nonsense, HTC have to pay royalties for that which they agreed and if Microsoft has asked for a certain part of the system not to be used in one distribution area than they would have to agree.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=microsoft+htc+android&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

I have never heard of any phone manufacturer flashing a different ROM for you when that ROM isn't for distribution in your area anyway.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Apples and oranges.

The OP referred to "MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement" which concerns MS operating systems i.e. WinMo, embedded XP etc. Your link refers to an IP licensing programme, which is a completely different animal.

Any reference in a "MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement" which would prevent the shipping of a completely different OS would be a serious anti-trust issue.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] rovex:
No it is the same thing. MS say Android infringes its embedded patents and therefore charge HTC for a licence. This is covered by the MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement. It doesnt have to refer to a full OS.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Please post a link.

Thanks,

Dave
[Desire General] dexter9898:
I really think its HTC way of confusing the users.

Oh well... think i have to reflash it myself.
[Desire General] tuatha:
He's correct. MS have licensing agreements in place with loads of vendors - it's the Linux kernel specifically that allegedly violates its patents.

You won't find a link with the specifics of the agreement, because the specifics weren't released afaik. If I'm remembering correctly, a couple of months ago MS offered a number of companies the option to pay them royalties, or be sued for patent infringement.

I'd believe what the CS rep told the OP, HTC probably just agreed to whatever was necessary to keep MS happy - they are partners after all.
[Desire General] mercianary:
Does this mean I gave Microsoft money (indirectly)?

I feel dirty. :'(
[Desire General] foxmeister:
The IP licensing deal won't be in the "MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement" which is a generic license for MS Embedded Operating Systems that applies to all OEMs.

HTC have licensed Microsoft IP as it pertains to mobile phones (note, not just the Linux kernel and Android), but the document detailing this will be a very specific IP license, which is a completely different programme to MS OS licensing, between HTC and Microsoft (it won't refer to generic OEMs for starters) and is clearly highly confidential because the actual contents of it are not known.

If you really believe that an HTC support person is privy to that sort of information, feel free to believe so, but I can tell you that it is far, far, more likely that the OP was just dealing with an idiot who hasn't got a clue what he is talking about - which is pretty much my experience whenever I've had to deal with HTC support!

What the CS rep told the OP would clearly be a serious breach of anti-trust laws if it were true.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] tuatha:
Read that again though:

"due to MSFT OEM Embedded Operating Systems License Agreement we have signed with Microsoft, we are sorry that HTC will not be able to change the ROM version for PDA phone."

It's an awfully specific answer for a CS rep to give, don't you think? Most of these guys don't know their arse from their elbow. And the OP's question wouldn't be a particularly common one. Dollars to doughnuts this guy qeried the request with one of the higher-ups and got that response from them. Though whether or not that makes it true is another story.

Btw, since when do MS give a damn about breaching anti-trust laws? :D
[Desire General] foxmeister:
It's very specific.

It's also very likely (to me to me at least it seems) that it is due the the CS representative mistakenly believing that the OP was reporting an issue with a Windows Mobile phone because he didn't read the request properly, which is certainly not unusual for HTC support. I had an HTC rep swear blind to me that T-Mobile UK wrote the OS for the G2 Touch (Hero), and that HTC had nothing to do with it, so I'll take pretty much anything that HTC CS tells me with a very large pinch of salt!

Personally, I think if is far more likely that we're dealing with the ignorance/incompetence of an HTC CS rep, than an MS IP licensing issue, but truth be told I don't really care anyway! :)

Dave

Hi everyone,

My iPhone died 2 weeks ago , and I must say i dont miss it that much because I got my brother's HTC diamond, which is great looking and fun :)

One thing that annoys me is that I have to take out stylus if I want to type messages (finger use not that accurate, keys too small) ...and the dial keys could be bigger as well , but that is ok for now.

So is there a cab for bigger/fullscreen versions of text/dial screens ?

Also, If you happen to peek into this thread, please PM me some sites for DL of games/apps for diamond , using rapid**share or similar :)

Cheers

;)

I recently found out that tapping my power button will not lock my screen or put my phone to sleep mode. Any solutions to this?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Can you still long press the power button to get to the shutdown menu?

It sounds to me like you might need to warranty your phone D= (FYI if you didn't know - unlocking the bootloader voids software warranty, not hardware warranty)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobie:
Yes I can still long press it and the power options still show.

Just lost the sleep mode.

Things I've done recently to my phone:

Flashed IntersectRaven's Kernel

Upgraded Amon Recovery

I wonder if one of these caused this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Hmmmm well my best suggestion at this point is to reflash everything to stock and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, I'd say there was some kind of error in the ROM you flashed to your phone, or possibly a setting.

Unless someone else has any bright ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikipirs:
Thare's an "End button behaviour" option in Spare parts that might help.

Hi folks,

couple of questions around contacts.. both my wife and i now have the desire.. she just couldnt keep her hands off mine so i bought her one over the weekend..

She's keen to have her contacts in one place, set up calendar events for birthday etc.. Is that best done in gmail and then sync with the phone?

Also why can i see my facebook picture in messages (and can i get rid of it?) but i cant see my wifes when i get a message from her?

How do you get the contacts from the phone book into gmail?

Cheers,

Mick
[Desire General] ferus:
It took me a while to figure out that there are 3 types of contacts

- phone

- google contacts

- facebook

Your phone contacts do not synchronize by default.

Google contacts are synchronized with your Gmail contacts (both ways).

Facebook contacts don't need an explanation :-)

You can create all 3 types for one person and then link them (although you may experience some inconsistencies) so you will have one entry per person.

I myself have all the contacts saved as google contacts and I can manage them either in Desire or via my Gmail account.
[Desire General] micks_address:
so if you have phone contacts.. can you export them to google contacts?
[Desire General] ferus:
Yes, you can. I exported my Phone contacts to the SDcard and imported them to my Gmail account.
[Desire General] micks_address:
Thanks - and in gmail then can you set up birthdays etc.. and the phone will then pop up reminders?

cheers for your help

mick
[Desire General] ferus:
Yes, you can manage your contacts via Gmail and sync them to your phone.

And about the birthday reminders - they do pop up (sort of).

I don't find the birthday notifications good enough. The phone reminds you 7 days in advance (which is too soon in my opinion) and only by showing you a little green sign in your phonebook. No sound, no vibration... nada.

I ended up creating an appointment for all my main contacts (using Google calendar, so it wasn't that big of a deal) so I would not forget them.
[Desire General] micks_address:
cheers - it would be nice alright if it would give you a pop up for appointments.. i guess the calendar is the way to go.. with gmail - can you set up appointments there.. and sync them with your phone? or do you use the phones calendar to set up appointments?

thanks,

mick
[Desire General] ferus:
The synchronization works both ways. You can add/remove appointments on your Desire and they will be added/removed to your Google calendar (and vice versa).

EDIT: Desire can also show all your shared calendars as well (with corresponding colours). For example my wife shares her calendar with me (so I don't have to ask for the millionth time when some of her appointments are due) and I can see her entries marked in a different colour in my Desire's calendar.

The calendar sharing must be done from Google Calendar itself.

As for the notifications... I was trying to find an application which would extract birthdays from your contacts and either set them as appointments automatically or manage the reminders from the app. Unfortunately I was not able to find a working one.
[Desire General] jauhari:
My Favorite is using Google Contact method. So our contact will auto Sync with Google.. this is seamless backup solutions for me
[Desire General] MaxCR:
Just bought my Desire :)

I wanted to start out clean, so I wiped out my Google contacts and calender.

Now I'd like to pull all of my FB friends to the phone and to Google Contacts, including birthdays into calender.

I've set up the sync to FB, and when going to People -> Online Directories -> FB I can see all of my FB friends, and can even call which ever of them has a phone number available on he's details, but for every contact who's details I want to see, the phone has to connect to the internet to retrieve that information, meaning it's not stored locally on the phone. Also, there are no contacts at People -> All.

Also, birthdays now appear on the phone's calender, but after syncing the phone calender with Google calender, I don't see any of that on there, meaning it doesn't sync ...

Another glitch is that although birthdays now all appear on the phone's calender, events which I have marked as attending on FB don't appear at all on the phone's calender.

Basically what I'd like is to copy all of my FB friends to my phone's memory as well as to Google contacts, and keep them linked and auto-synced.

Also to have all the birthdays that I already have on my phone's calender appear on my Google calender automatically, as well as FB events.

Is that too much to ask? :-X

Help would be much appreaciated...
[Desire General] MaxCR:
So no ideas how to get it done... ?
[Desire General] klaas4:
Solution for birthday notifications

Go to a contact (any contact) and then go to the events tab (with the circle arrows). Press menu, go into settings, and there is your holy grail.

Hi

I'm on a limited data plan (50MB), so when I'm connected on Edge/3G (or even when on WiFi), I want auto-sync to work on Gmail only for push mail, and maybe to run IM (eBuddy) on the background.

Is there a trick/apps to do it?

As it is now, even when I don't do anything on my N1, just by leaving it on standby eats about 1MB in less than an hour.

thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinode:
That's an insane data plan, is there no way you can get any more allowance?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
Go to Account & Sync Settings and only choose to sync gmail? I don't really get the question, I assume you have already checked out the options?

edit:

Oh and if it's eating 1MB/hour on standby you've clearly got an app that is sending/recieving loads of data and you should remove it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viluve:
Yup, I guess my question leads to how do I identify which applications? Is there any apps that allow me to block traffic for these apps which silently eat my data?

[Android Software Development] Triocorp:
Hi There,

We are working on an application that runs on both the PC and android that opens encrypted data. Our problem is, even when we are using the exact same code, the key generated under Android is different from the key generated under Linux PC. When we encrypt a file under android, we are able to decrypt it under android and the same for linux. However, if we try to decrypt a linux file under android, it doesnt work, and vice versa.

We have noticed that the provider for SecureRandom for android is Crypto, whereas for linux, it says SUN. I am wondering if this is the main cause? Here is a sample of our code with debug prints:-

KeyGenerator keyGen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");

SecureRandom secRandom = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");

// This is where the provider between linux and android differs

System.err.println(secRandom.getProvider().getName());

And later down the code, after we generate we call generateKey and getEncoded, the hex values of the final key are different between android and linux.

Are there any suggestions on how we can get the final keys for both platforms to work?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

Is it possible to dump a .BIN rom ?

I've search before asking, but i did not find the answer. Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
To dump a .BIN ROM you need:

- OSNBTool

- XIDUMP

Run "OSNBTool -sp" on the .bin file once and you'll obtain a NB0, run it again and you'll obtain a NB. Run XiDump -B on the NB file and you will obtain the xip and imgfs dump .

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Hard reset your phone or reflash, maybe it's a wrong flash error or can be hardware. If I were you, I'll try everything before I mess with MTTY since it's a powerful tool that if you don't use it correctly, you can end up with a expensive brick in your hand.

On Hermes and Trinity, the possible cause of the problem is that the WLAN EEPROM is erased which results in corrupted MAC address. Maybe the same happens to my KAISER. Is there any possibility of solving it? I miss my Wifi :(
