can you 'reset defaults'? (menu - reset defaults form the APN screen I think)

That should pull the info from the simm.

I assed about with mine for days until I realised I was using a new number, called optus and mms wasn't activated yet. Maybe check them?

I have the same details for the MMS APN except the proxy and port on mine are <not set> and I jsut sent myself an mms successfully

So yeah, restore defaults then confirm mms is enabled on the account...

Good luck!
[Desire General] Pondy:
OK Its working!

APN for Internet:

Press Menu, then New APN

Name = Optus Yes Internet

APN = yesinternet

MMSC = null

MCC = 505

MNC = 02

APN type = default

Press Menu button, and touch Save

________________________________________

APN for MMS:

Press Menu, then New APN

Name = Optus MMS

APN = mms

MMSC = http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/

MMS Proxy = 61.88.190.10

MMS Port = 8070

MCC = 505

MNC = 02

APN type = mms

As suggested I just left out the Proxy and Port entries. Thanks catdog2
[Desire General] piannetta:
Helpful post, thanks guys.

Two quick questions though. I set my APN so I could access the internet but instead of using "yesinternet" as you have, I just used "internet" but it's working. Does the APN name here matter and is there a difference between the two?

Second question is, I noticed that there is an MMSC field in the APN I setup for internet, is it possible to just enter the MMSC in that field and use the same APN for MMS?

Cheers,

Pete

I've noticed a trend. a trend that shouldn't be happening: ALL OC kernels these days are based on Pretty Much Stock Cyanogen Source. And what I realized is, things like Wes Garner's .29 kernel, are faster. than the OC ones... How about some diversity here eh? I will compile some kernels with CFS and some other optimizations this summer break (in 3 days).

Jcarrz1 (I think this is the right section for this thread)

Others, please feel free to cook up a kernel and share it here. Please.
[G1 Android Development] Jurai:
I'd be happy if someone cooked up a working ramhack for the latest oc-uv kernels, personally
[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
Is the source for WG-Kernel actually available?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's always been available, pretty sure it's at github.com/wesgarner.
[G1 Android Development] Audinator:
I was reading over on the Cyanogen forums that it's not possible to do the ramhack w/ 2.1 roms as in 2.1 needs 3D to run properly and most of the OC kernels have been specifically for 2.1.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
hmm i havent noticed anything fast about 2.6.29 compared to 2.6.33

Ill keep testing :)

sup J missed ya man
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
I think Wes just did some good optimization stuff, while cyan didn't, so an OC on top of that still doesn't equate to that. And your #8 is pretty fast.... i push it on top of many sense roms. no 3d tho in the performance.

Could you release a "universal" packaged #9? in this thread too.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
ahhh I see what ur saying now. and u may have a point :)

yah performance doesnt have 3d :(

performance is based off of older source ;) ;) ;)
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
You could use the wg kernel then apply the universal oc update.zip, right? Then it would be a fair match against cyan's oc rom.
[G1 Android Development] shiftedx:
Could someone post a kingklick kernel 8 zip download for me? I can't find it anywhere..
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:

audio

Well i know someone have been trying or testing..truthfully speaking if someone can make a 2.1 rom with an audio kernel hack..it would be awesome..i know they have a few for the nexus..is it possible on our hardware...aka g1..mytouch etc
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
get "louder volume hack" in the market if you dont want to wait

i use it, and it works well
[G1 Android Development] sync3:
2.1

The louder volume hack replaces the audiopara.csv and something else..i thought these were unusable on a 2.1 rom? that the hack had to come with the kernel..not sure though..ill try pushing the volume hack files and see..cheers!

thanks dude for the help..i pushed files now this thing is screaming..thank alot gov..Cheers!!
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i'm using the app straight-up, right from the market, (no pushing required:))

its definitely working, i can tell you that
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
whoa i just realized that this post may have been offensive to you, cyan.

My intention was no offense, your kernel is by far the best for eclair/stock roms... but it seems that some settings/customizations that other devs have done, or even building their own from scratch (no cyan code at all) makes for better performance, but possibly at the cost of other things (battery, stability, etc.), which some of us are willing to sacrifice. example of king kernel #8, one of my favorites; here is the config for the zimage. Its fast, trust me.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
haha magic. yea it seems like a combo of different specifications (see my above post) makes for a good kernel.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
I've heard the X1 has a dpi of 310 to 298. I want to know exactly, I searched but i couldn't find a app that tells the dpi. Also does a rom have an effect on the dpi being displayed ? For example Manilla 2.5? Thanks in advance:D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Would this work?

Multiply 800 x 480 = number of dots

measure the horizontal and vertical length of your X1 screen in inches

Multiply the horizontal length by the vertical length = area of X1 screen

Divide number of dots by area of X1 screen = DPI
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
Thanks for the reply, I did 384,000 divided by 3.75(width 1.5inch x length 2.5) and got 102,400. That can't be right? What did you get maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azaberl:
I think you should do 480/1.5 or 800/2.5

or square root of 102400
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
Ya the Square root gave me a more realistic number. I got 320dpi:D. So does that mean we have a retina display according to Steve Jobs with his Iphone 4 with 326 dpi lol. "Retina display" Good one steve haha.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfox:
According to this Wikipedia article the display's pixel density is 311 PPI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density#Devices_sorted_by_size (sort the table by PPI). The difference between 311 and 326 for the iPhone is minimal, so I guess you could call it a 'Retina display', although personally I prefer the term 'awesome'.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
Hmm interesting 311, when I do it ring-bearer's way I still get 320 DPI. Is their a difference between DPI V.S PPI? Any way I agree with the term awesome:).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfox:
DPI is used in printing where an image is made up of dots. Each dot is one of four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). These dots are similar to subpixels. Because of differences and limitations with printing, most printers need to use many dots to represent a single pixel. PPI is used for displays and digital images. PPI measures whole pixels, whereas there could be ambiguity if DPI is used for a display because dot may refer to a subpixel. Most people and software confuse the terms so in common use they're fairly interchangeable. The most important thing to remember is that a pixel on a display will correspond to many dots in a printed image and so a 5" 300 PPI image on a computer will have more detail than a 5" 300 DPI print from a common inkjet printer.

If you calculate the PPI of the display with this method, you get 311. That method only relies on the diagonal size, which we know to be 3", whereas ring-bearer's method relies on the length and width. I'm guessing that you just measured the dimensions of the screen instead of calculating them (trigonometry isn't very fun), so the difference is probably just from rounding your measurements.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
K, thanks for explanation :). Followed the link in blue and clicked "List of displays by pixel density" and then clicked Sony Ericsson and it has the X1 listed at 312PPI? Typo possibly ;).

So I'm brand new to Sprint coming from AT&T which has my faves. The plan I chose with Sprint was the 129.99 for two phones (bought EVO for the wife and I). It says on the plan unlimited mobile to mobile callling but only 1500 minutes landline. I use Google Voice all the time and when it connects, it uses another number to connect my phone call. After all that, my question is whether the number that Google Voice uses to call out is a landline or a mobile number. If it's a mobile number, I have no problem, but if it's a landline, I'm really worried that I'm going to exceed the 1500 minutes I use just to call out using Google Voice.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freelancerx:
well one of the easy ways to check it, is to use Google voice heavily for a day then check your minute usage in the my sprint section of sprints site. if your using your minutes up heavily then it looks like Google voice is the culprit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
it wouldn't be whether the number being called by google is a landline or mobile, it would be whether your google number is a landline itself. because, you're technically calling THAT number from your cell phone, i believe.

it's one of the reasons that tmo got rid of the myfaves thing, in order to keep people from setting up their google number as a fave, then never technically using any minutes ever.

edit: i just did a reverse number lookup on my google voice number. it's a landline. i wouldn't recommend using google voice, lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faquedado:
That's exactly what I was concerned about, you found out that the Google voice number is a landline which uses up part of my 1500 mobile to landline minutes, I have to admit, that really sucks

I have the same 1500 minute family plan with two phones... Together my GF and I used 18 of those 5000 minutes last month. We really don't know anyone who uses a land line and those 18 minutes probably came from calling local businesses.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippillie:
Last time I used google voice (a few months ago) all calls made through it where considered land line calls. They might have changed it. An easy way to check it to log onto your acount on sprint.com and it will show you your landline usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faquedado:
I don't think your understanding, I understand that I have unlimited mobile to mobile, but when I used Googlevoice, it uses my alocated 1500 minutes for landlines. I'm looking for a way to use Googlevoice so it can redirect it's calling to a mobile line.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinsLament:
There is no way around it, that's basically why I haven't used my google voice number much, because it's considered a landline call.

But these days, any network you go to, it's the same unless you can get on a plan that has favorite numbers. But even those are being phased out,

like T-Mobile's Fav 5, and with AT&T you need the $80 plan which will then enable you to have your favorites like Fav 5. Sprint also had a top 3 at one time also, but they don't seem to give that plan anymore either.

But unlimited any mobile to any mobile kicks butt, it's just not friendly to google voice.

If you're already getting the 1500, how much more is the unlimited calls? I think that's your best bet.

Anyone know?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
well, to answer you question, i don't know where they are stored.

but to change them, i use Change Start Menu Icon. works perfectly and does the grunt work for ya.

cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phantoms:
I found the problem. The app is hard coded the start menu icon into it's code somewhere (like exe files on your pc sometimes do).

Anyway, I found where programs point to their start menu icons in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ProgramName.lnk

This app didn't have a Icon entry like some of the others, so I added one and pointed it to a Icon.png file I had made for it and placed in the same directory the program was installed in.

Powered off the phone and then back on and it's using the new icon.

The only problem I'm having now is making a png file with transparency that works as a start menu icon in sense quicklinks. The icon has it's transparency in the windows start menu and when I click to add a quicklink in the program list. But once added to the homepage quicklinks, the transparency section is visible. I don't understand it. viewing it in the HTC's picture viewer also correctly handles the transparent part.

Anyone have any ideas? Here's three screens showing what I mean. The WM screen, the add-program-to-quicklinks screen and the Sense home screen (running CHT 1.7.1):

Change icon. Add Quicklink!! OK?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phantoms:
There's no finch.png in that directory. There is a program launch file "FinchSync_SP.bmg" in that directory.

The actual program and icon file are stored on my storage card at

\Storage Card\Program Files\FinchSyncSP

album.cache

finch.png

finchconfig.txt

FinchSync_Core.dll

FinchSync_SP.exe

InTheHand.Interop.dll

InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll

syncinfo.txt

The default install of FinchSync has the program's icon hard coded, not a separate icon (png) file. If I delete the finch.png file, after a power cycle it goes back to using the default hard coded icon. Put the icon back and it does as I posted above, showing transparency everywhere except as a Quicklink. I've tried renaming the filename and then changing the reg entry outlined above to the new name and same thing.

FinchSynch is an older WM app, but I use it because I can sync my contacts and calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird, Calendar and Address book. I do not have or use Outlook to sync too, so I use FinchSync for this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phantoms:
I found it. It's not a png file from that directory, but the bmg file.
