You don't need any new sdk.

This is the way to do it:

If you have a linux workstation, great. Otherwise, popin a bootable CD, boot into the system, open a terminal, plugin your HTC, and do a:

# dmesq | tail

You'll get a pcid in the format of 0bb4:xxxx where xxxx is the new pcid you need to replace in the adb usb driver inf.

That's it.

Here's a sample output:

works on xp 64

Got this fully working on Windows XP x64 with HTC Hero running Android 2.1. Thanks alot, I've tried many ways to debug my device on XP 64 and all of them ended with "adb devices" showing nothing.

I had to expand "amd64\android_usb.inf" a little bit.

Following lines at the end of [Google.NTamd64] section:

; HTC Hero
%USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98.DeviceDescRelease% = androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98
%USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease% = androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01

Following lines at the end of [Strings] section:

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98.DeviceDescRelease="HTC Hero"
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease= "HTC Hero Composite ADB Interface"

If you have something else than HTC Hero or HTC Dream — just replace "VID_0BB4&PID_0C98" with your device IDs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
I hope you realise that if you download the latest HTC Sync it installs x64 drivers correctly and then you just have to start using adb for it to work. The guide linked in my signature also shows you how to set it up to run every time you start your computer so that you can run it from any command prompt without having to change location. This thread is more or less dead.

issue with HTC sync on XP 64

Of course, I've tried to install HTC sync 3.0 before, but installer failed to install the drivers. Chris Bunney reported (can't link, sorry) that installer fails on Windows XP x64 too. I think uninstalling device from system before installation starts could solve this issue but I didn't try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
What about Sync 2.0.40?

OIC:

Interesting that XP 64 isn't supported. That's a poor effort by HTC.

Check out usbdeview to remove your usb drivers if you want to try again. Worked for me when I was having issues in the past. But if its working with your modifications then it might not be worth it.

Maybe you could upload the new driver file for others - specify that its XP 64 only ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWalker:
Carrier: Rogers (Canada)

Mode: X1A

Hi guys, I've got a pretty big problem with my phone so I'm hoping someone can help. My Xperia is about 10 months old, and it just started giving me this problem last week.

When I slide the keyboard open, the display either doesn't switch to landscape mode, or takes like 30-45 seconds to switch, and doesn't switch entirely so some aspects like the taskbar are still appearing with the stuff that was from portrait mode.

When I slide it out, if I start typing the text won't show up, but when I slide it back in, the text appears instantly so it is registering the key presses.

I thought it would be a software problem so I tried uninstalling some stuff even though i didnt add anything recently, didn't help.

Finally after suffering with I decided to do a hard reset. I was very surprised to find that this didn't fix the problem, because I don't understand how this could be a hardware problem.

I've been using the Touch X ROM for 8 months and have never had this problem until now.

Anyone have any ideas? If not - I'm going to flash back to the stock ROM and try to return under warranty. Is there any way for them to tell that I used a custom ROM and does that void the warranty?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWalker:
The keyboard also illuminates when I slide it out so I know that the slide is being registered as well as the fact it usually but not always, eventually switch to landscape mode
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingsamurai:
Normally I would say its a ribbon failure but its a bit odd that it does eventually switch. But its almost definitely a hardware problem.

If you send it under warranty just flash to the stock rom, and the return it to the original spl. And yes having a custom rom will void the warranty, but they can't find that out if you return to original spl

Hey Guys. Before i flashed my mda vario v also known as htc touch pro 2, i'd a special email client called

installed on it.

this client belongs to the t-mobile rom.

now, i've got another rom and this prog is missing.

does somebody have a idea, where i can get it???

thanks a lot =)
[G1 Apps and Games] fermunky:
Seems like a dumb question since I like the stock navigation software. But I no longer use my G1 as my daily driver. I was thinking of making it a stand alone GPS unit. However, with no SIM card, the stock nav software won't work. I need a nav app that stores the maps to the SD card. Are there any out there for Android?
[G1 Apps and Games] curtis2k10:
I'm using sygic mobile maps 2010 atm on my g1 which I reckon is better than its competitors; copilot and navigon. All three store maps on the sd card
[G1 Apps and Games] fermunky:
All three of those I haven't heard of. I did find Orux and Map Droyd, but didn't like them too much. I'll give Sygic a try next. Thanks

[G1 Apps and Games] curtis2k10:
I meant you can obtain any paid app for free by using google
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Hey, we don't advocate that here. Talk about what you want in private, but please don't encourage piracy on the forums.

There are a few paid apps, they cost quite a bit. However, since you're going to be driving around without a sim card (which effectively means no cell data connection), you'll need an application that stores its maps locally, otherwise you'll be sunk if you deviate from your path outside of a wifi hotspot.

There are, however, a few other navigation systems, but they cost a pretty penny.

Telenav, CoPilot and Destinator 9 are all on the market (from $29.99 to $69.99) and both CoPilot and Destinator 9 store their maps locally (I couldn't figure out if Telenav does or not). They cost a lot, but it might be worth it to you.

Free apps are less likely to store maps locally, versus downloading them on the fly. I seem to remember that AndNav2 can use preloaded maps, but they have a very limited supply. If you happen to live in one of these areas, then perhaps AndNav2 is a good idea for you.

Otherwise, if you can't afford a paid app, I'm not sure if you'll be able to use your G1 as you planned.
[G1 Apps and Games] jorobochi:
iGO :)

http://www.igomyway.com/android/en/
[G1 Apps and Games] fermunky:
Thank you both. Jordanjay, thanks for the indepth response, and maybe that will be useful for others, but you really just repeated what I was looking for :) I know without a sim I'll need local maps, and I know there are paid apps. I was specifically looking for a free one. And you did that as well. I do live in the USA, so I'll give AndNav2 a shot.

jorobochi: Where do I get the iGO software? There site just goes on and on about what their software is. It appears to only be available if it came with your phone. And as Jordan mentioned, if I have to "find" it, don't worry about answering.

Hi There,

I just got WM 6.5.3 on my device and after searching the forum for cool themes and stuff, I found that some ppl have the name of their operator shown in the left top corner of their taskbar. Can someone tell me how to enable that? I couldn't find it by searching the forum!

Thnx for your answer! However, I didn't manage to get what I want. Personalizer just changes the name of my operator, but that's no fun when the operator name is not shown anywhere..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
I have tried many solutions posted to similar issues in this forum and none are working...

I reflashed the radio

I updated the radio

I also changed roms

I updated google maps...

I installed google voice

I turned the GPS on and off

wiped data and cache

also restarted the phone...

tried indoors and outdoors...

Google maps gets my location fine, but just when I click on navigate it loads and on the bottom of the screen it says "searching for GPS..." and never finds it, the GPS satellite icon shows activity...GPS Test says GPS on...I do not see any other activity at all on the screen though....

this is weird...any ideas? anyone else getting this "error"?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Do you have a data plan or other network connection while trying to get a GPS fix? If you don't, then it can take a REALLY LONG time to get a fix since it won't be able to download the almanac (assisted gps).

Also, some LOCATIONS tend to be very bad for getting a GPS signal. Near tall buildings, for example. Even if you have good exposure to a lot of the sky, the signals can actually REFLECT OFF TALL BUILDINGS and screw up your timings.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
Yes I do have a data plan. No I am not near ANY tall buildings - I am in a residential area. I used to get GPS fine here when I had my Nexus One and my HD2 ... but this phone is giving me a hard time....I wish I could get it fixed -I was planning on taking a trip tomorrow and it would be nice to have it working, anyways it should work, I dont see a reason why it should not work...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erebusting:
any other ideas?....

anyone else having this problem? .... please advise me....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
If google doesn't know the coordinates of the cell tower you are connected to, it may be sending you incorrect almanac data, which will actually make it HARDER to connect (since the GPS will be making incorrect assumptions about the visible satellites).

Try disabling your data services and reboot the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gristline:
I had the same problem for like 3 weeks, prior to it, my screen was cracked and i had it replaced at a shop. I finally took the phone apart, and the little cable was not connected. If the phone's been opened since last the GPS worked, check that. If not, No idea bro.

I too have been having this issue for some time. This finally fixed the problem:

For my Glacier's Sense ROM, I installed DARKSIDE SENSE v4.0... of course I quickly reverted back to my preferred ROM immediately after completing the documented steps in the instructions. GPS works great... no more "Searching for GPS..." message.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanvree:
I can't get to that link, can you PM it to me?

I finally found a semi-fix. In the A-GPS app, if you disable "filter GSP Speed" and disable filter strength, it has seemed to clear up the problem 90% of the time. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to aquire, but sometimes it only take a few seconds and one it get's a lock, it seems to always keep locked on, which is 1000% better than what I was getting prior to this fix.

- Lag when opening apps

- No subtitle support for movies?

List of a few of the bugs found on Galaxy compiled by the Singaporeans who got the device:

2. Only once that the music player crashes when browsing.

3. World clock crashes if I switch between the top buttons too fast.

4. Text reflow requires double tap to activate on some sites, wonder if it is a bug?

5. No subtitles =p

6. 6 channel AAC audio in video not playing.

7. online can be uncertain at times compared to other smartphones. not as smooth flowing on other smartphones as connection tends to be disconnected (prompting error to load message) at times

8. Got a kernel panic error (!!!) from using Kies + PC Internet on WinXP.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
I believe the battery is Li-pol not Li-ion. Dunno how much, if any, difference that makes, but they're not identical.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gllu:
according to gsmarena :

Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I don't know where the heck they got this information from.

If the phone is charged at the mains then all mains chargers have a sensor within that terminates charging once complete.

The exception to this is car chargers which most do not have.

However, for a little extra you can purchase a car charger which has a safety cut-out sensor built in like the one offered from MobileFun here.

EDITED:

Okay, now we know it's a Li-Pol as opposed to a Li-Ion that makes it a little clearer.

Li-Pol cells are sealed in a plastic aluminium laminate, so if the battery sees an overcharge condition, the seal ruptures and vents any gases due to electrolyte oxidation and the cell shuts down rather than having steel or aluminium casings fragment, as in the case of lithium ion batteries that may result in metal shards.

Also, Li-Pol can be manufactured much thinner and lighter... which given the thickness of the i9000 makes perfect sense to use Li-Pol.

No beards lol we're talking about led notification, the one in front of the phone that alerts you when you have missed calls, emails, sms, etc.. and can change color. Unfortunately Samsung didn't include that, not sure why.. so we'll have to light up the screen to see if we have something..

I always look at a problem from the positive side (the glass is always half-full).

If Samsung left out the notification then I'm sure there is a valid reason.... as in why the phone has no LED Flash photography but does have an excellent Aperture/F-Stop rating which to a degree will compensate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Knobibrot:
On another website, somebody said: Gallaxy S without a LED Flash is like a Lamborgini without rear mirror.

I don't think it's critical with the LED notification light. Actually the LED on my Hermes is really driving me crazy, because it's flashing all day and NIGHT!

Does anybody know the difference between a Li-Ion an Li-Pol battery?

Which one is better?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
Li-pol batteries:

This type has technologically evolved from lithium-ion batteries. The primary difference is that the lithium-salt electrolyte is not held in an organic solvent but in a solid polymer composite such as polyethylene oxide or polyacrylonitrile. The advantages of Li-ion polymer over the lithium-ion design include potentially lower cost of manufacture, adaptability to a wide variety of packaging shapes, and ruggedness. Lithium-ion polymer batteries started appearing in consumer electronics around 1996.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ben74:
one is not categorically better than the other. a good li-pol battery can be better than a bad li-ion, and vice versa.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
You will see missed calls or messages as puzzle tiles on the lock screen, so the information is just one click on the home button away. You don't even have to unlock it, but if you want, you can do it by moving the corresponding tile to its destination and access the message or missed call instantly instead of going to the home screen first. I don't find that too cumbersome.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:

how I usually function however is that I take my phone out of my pocket while I'm walking or after finishing a walk, and I look at the led notification on my magic to see if I have any missed notification, if the light is not lighting up then I have nothing and I put it back in my pocket lol. but Magic is a bit slow if I want to press a button to light up the screen. I'm sure the Samsung is much faster, plus the power button is well placed for my thumb to reach. Not to forget to mention that I would love to keep opening the screen of the sammy while walking outside :rolleyes:

The led Light doesn't continuously light up unless I have a missed event.
