I had on the home screen for city St. Charles. Now that does not appear in the add location place. No idea how this got in there. I did do an installation of the BsB Tweaks, the Co0kie Home Tab editor, CHT Editor and SBSH's Phone Weaver 2.1.1. I am wondering if that could cause the problem.

When I first set it up I thought I entered a ZIP code for the weather but now forget it, it is just cities and there are 3 in the state of Maryland. Not very good.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Ok just to let some people who do not understand the "My Location" weather ...

1.) It is NOT set by you , you cannot change it ...

2.) It is NOT based on strictly your GPS

3.) It IS based on the cell tower you are connected to.

4.) The Name you see on My Location may not be a city, might be a city, might not look like a city you are in, it is the Name/Location given to that cell tower by the provider, sometimes it is the township, sometimes the city, sometimes a geographical feature ...

Hope that helps ...

For People missing weather cities there is a weather city editor floating around lets you add cities ...
[HD2 General] BumAround:
That's why, ppl, I always run "Disable My Location" cab with every ROM I've flashed into, then choose Add City manually. Case closed. :)
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Unless of course you actually want the "My Location" and some people like myself actually want it ...

but that cab is a very good suggestion ...
[HD2 General] 11calcal:
Theres a weather city database editor on the themes/app page

look for cab repository (5th down) under UI section and its there

;)
[HD2 General] One2go:
After futzing around with this for a few hours, I finally got this sorted. As watcher64 said it maybe the cryptic name of a cell tower or some other weird designation. I live in St. Charles County in MD and when driving around today I noticed that I got 3G reception and it must have entered "St Charles" in to My Location.

I Like the function of My Location and finally got it to work properly. Since at home I only get EDGE reception, there was nothing that I did that changed My Location to where it shows on Google maps to be. Nada, Zip, Naught.

I verified that the blue dot appeared on Google Maps, that the HTC services are turned on, downloading Satellite maps are checked and then here is biggy, I connected the bleeding phone to my WiFi access point and it changed My Location to the proper spot as it appeared on the Google Maps including the correct naming.

O2G
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Now that is fun .... I can never get my phone to update on WiFi ... it is just F*ing Magic!!
[HD2 General] gtb5:
Still not working today...it seems internet connection cannot be established through computer.
[HD2 General] One2go:
Well again today a repeat performance. St Charles appeared again as the My Location. At home I made sure that I turned on the DATA services first, then the WiFi. Made sure that the Quick GPS had downloaded the Satellite maps. Then I went to the Weather app and clicked on Menu (right bottom corner), then selected Update Now. Voila, My Location changed to what it supposed to be.

What can I say, the My Location will change to wherever you are and then get from that the weather data, which I think is the way I like it to be.
[HD2 General] whizzkid_cool:
hi there, i used to update my weather using 3g data connection which is connected automatically... however, the data connection cost me a bomb! so i disabled it. till now my phone weather never updated again. my question is, how do i update my phone weather using wifi connection instead of using 3g data connection? Appreciate ur advise... :)
[HD2 General] fred_up:
First install 'nodata', then set it to disable data connection (this does not effect WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS).

Connect to WiFi network.

Select Update Now in the weather tab.

I have updated weather, quickGPS and e-mails on both WiFi and through the data connection. If I was connected to the WiFi network, then weather, quickGPS and e-mails will automatically go through that. If not connected to the WiFi then any one of them will start up the data connection.
[HD2 General] amylauren91:
How often did your weather automatically update? like every hour or something?

Does anyone know how much data is used each time you update the weather?

its just im thinking of putting it on automatic every hour but i dont want to if its going to use alot of my data limit.
[Android Software Development] torchedlh:
Basically adjust the ring volume depending on what environment the phone is in. I imagine two ring settings, 1 loud for one when it is in a pocket or bag (proximity sensor sensor is triggered) and 1 quieter one for when it is not (like on a table..). The light sensor could also be utilized in conjunction but I'm not sure if that would really add any value...

Doesn't sound too complicated to me..What do you guys think? Does something like this already exist?

EDIT: I think I may have heard HTC sense handsets already have this feature? Does anyone know?
[Android Software Development] DJGibbon:
My Desire doesn't have this, or at least not that I've noticed or can find.

I like it as an idea though.
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
Nope, I think what you mean by the HTC Sense handsets having the the feature of reducing the ringer volume when you pick up the phone. But nevertheless, you've got a great idea, though it'll probably add to the battery drain.
[Android Software Development] NYLimited:
I am still looking for an app that will switch the phone to vibrate based on proximity sensor (i.e. when you put it in the case or pocket) and switch it back when removed. So far no luck (sigh)..
[Android Software Development] torchedlh:
well now that the app inventor has been released (sorta, i havent gotten my invite yet..) this seems like something straightforward enough to give it a shot myself.
[Android Software Development] :
There is a app like that, I think its called roxy something, sane guys that did the beautiful widgets ... levelone?

Oh, and AFAIR it used microphone to analyze the ambience (boring ass meeting vs. subway station for example)

Not sure who you are replying to.

I was looking for a VIBRATE based on proximity sensor.

That app does not seem to do that.

Also, on a quick glance I noticed only an Android version.

The HD2 runs WinMo as released.
[Android Software Development] flyingwolf:
Damn, my bad, it is android only, I have spent so much time in android lately I keep forgetting there are others.

Search is on then I guess.

Oh, and the HD2 runs Android quite well as well ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] junooni:
I live in Karachi, Pakistan, which is on GMT +5 zone, but HTC always report it as GMT +6 (we don't have DST).

As a result, I have to select some other city in some other country to display correct time and using 'current location' as the option doesn't hold good.

However, I installed beautiful home by beautiful widgets and it automatically shows the correct city and time so i'm guessing this has to do something with the way HTC gets its data.

anyone else facing this same problem?

any suggested fix for this?

P.S: I have tried different roms but the same issue....

Hi All,

It seems now that those guys who have developed HardSPL for the X1 are not going to get the X2. This leaves then no other options than to start creating the Hard-SPL ourselves.

Is there any open guides/sourceode etc available on any previous HardSPL:s? It can't be so difficult to hack this phone and change the essential parameters for getting in into the underlying filesystem...

If you know any links or direct discussions on how for example the X1-guys created their Hard-SPL, then please post that link here.

best way would be to create a bounty like the x10 root. that would attract developers.

Yeah! Sounds good to me. Although developers do it for the challenge, sometimes getting them motivated by a bounty encourages them more! Just check x10, it has now been rooted and I hope one day our X2 will also be Hard SPL'ed. Got an x10 and an x2 so i guess i'm gonna play with x10 for now.

Hi hertell.

I'm spanish and I'll translate you the post at HTCSPAIN.

The HARDSPL at the post it's for HTC models, not for SE Xperia, and it's so old, 2009.

If someone is working to make available HRDSPL in SE Xperia X2, I think that is a titanic work.

Lightbulb I can access the inner file system of my X2.

Guys and gals...

I've got a bricked X2, so things can't get any worse at present.

I took the advice which was displayed in another thread, and downloaded the Qualcomm QPST package.

x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/qualcomm/models/qpst/12051.html

I deleted the default comm ports in the QPST configuration tool, added both USB ports that were available, did the Volume Down + Power On keypress, connected the cable, and voila! The phone was recognised, and it was possible to browse through the phone using EFS Explorer. Using QPST Service Programming, I can view and edit a whole LOAD of stuff inside the phone. Wow.

I haven't dared change a single thing yet. I'm hoping someone can now contribute and we can begin to understand how to use this package to our advantage.

Decompiling .bin files

Hi Hertell

Using Qualcomm QPST, I managed to take a dump of my X2's memory. The files saved consist of various .bin files. Do you know of any utilities which may be able to decompile .bin files, and maybe recompile them? This may help take us forward a little.

Thanks

Neil
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
Hi Neil,

What version are you using? I think that we need also somekind of program that we could edit the filesystem and bootloader of the phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] youcrazykids:
2.7, build 323.

It is possible to extract the bootloader section of the phone, and to reinstate it, using the QPST suite.

However, the extracted files are mostly in .bin format, so I'm not quite sure how to interrogate these. It follows that any file system changes must be made offline and then downloaded again.

I'm reasonably sure that the dumped files contain EVERYTHING that is inside the phone, but it's getting into these files, making changes, and recompiling them which is the challenge now.

[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
It's likely that being an expert on HTC boot process is almost useless with X2.

Probably the boot process of X2 is different non only from X1 but also from any other SE [smart] phone.

Is probably that (if X2 is really made from mobinnova) the boot process/ and the flashing tools are similar to the ones present on the imates 8502/9502 because they are mobinnova products (for sure).
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:

have bought hd2 a month ago. its 3 months old got it for 260€. never was more satisfied with a phone then now. got 6.5.5 on it. android 2.2 desire version... there is no better phone for romming that this. wish you all the best of luck with x2 but i got sick of SE and X2. could be a good phone if only SE made farely good SW. SE was my favourite brand of mobile phones from their start in 2001 till 2010 when i gor X2, nos i hate SE and i love HTC.

5.1.2011

got bored of HD2 and romming and flashing... WM6.5.3 is also on X2. android 2.2was ok. it has a tone of apps but thats it. OS by its own is boring. i sold my HD2 and Im using my old X2 again. its great. X2 still needs some work. every now and then it freezes (usualy when killing tasks in task manager, maybe its a RAM problem). and when i restart it the battery is supposedly almost fully drained but i never travel so i plug it in the charger and voila! But other then this problem phone is great without the buggy SE stuff like panels and manager for panels and slideview... nice phone. Not the most stable but nice. not the best touch sensitivines for fingers. but i like using touchpad under the screen or the stylus. i think ill have it till it stops working. since im a total fan of WM6.5.3 over android wich semes to me like a wannabe OSx which a totaly hate. and you dont realy need a 1GHz in a phone for mailing, talking, smsing, normal webbing... I hate SE but still... X2 forever:D

also my hardware is 2.2

I wish I would've known I would've backed up before rooting. I didn't see any reason since the phone was new with nothing on it.

I just checked and it said no updates available.

So in order to go back to stock all I have to do is reflash with the stock rom. Just throw it on sd and flash as normal?

One of three things happened..

You are either have a nexus one and are in the wrong forum..

Are mistaken that you had 2.2 prior to root..

Or you're just trying to mess with everyone..

2.2 is not out in any way officially on any HTC phone, so you couldn't have had it. And no, you couldn't have been the only person in the country to have accidentally gotten it somehow.
[Hero CDMA General] troublestylist:
Not sure what they did on this thing. I thought 2.1 was supposed to IMPROVE performance...and add some BT functionality.

I got no BT improvement. Instead, I got:

1. Random reboots

2. Slow/crashing Navigation

3. Useless voice recognition on Navigation

4. Random phone calls placed when fiddling with BT

5. Slow opening notifications

6. WIFI won't turn on

I could go on and on...

Sprint says I can't go back to 1.5, but I'm sure there's a way to do it.

[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Yes it does. Just find a 1.5 ROM for CDMA hero. However, before most of our devs moved on to the EVO almost all of them stop developing 1.5 and moved to 2.1

I would suggest trying out some 2.1 ROMs and see what you like.

If you are rooted you should have put a recovery on your phone that you can get to by pressing home and turning on your phone. The first thing you will want to do is make a nandroid backup in case you don't like things. Then stick a ROM on your sdcard. Select all the wipe options except for battery and rotate and then flash a new ROM.
[Hero CDMA General] fifedogg:
Id try wiping and reloading a 2.1 rom. I never had any of those problems when I went to 2.1.
[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I'm running the latest DamageControl and can honestly say I am not having any of those issues. I say you should try using a different ROM.
[Hero CDMA General] troublestylist:
I didn't root until I got 2.1, so I surmise the 1.5 is gone, right?

RegawMOD was also recommended. Any reason why to pick one or the other?

Thanks for all the help. Sad that unpaid and unsupported independent developers can do this job better than HTC.

In a best case world, I'd be able to get ad hoc networking to work. I followed the directions but didn't have any success. My ultimate goal was to enable my Hero to display photos wirelessly from my computer. Many programs do it the other way around.

Originally I thought BT would be the easiest wireless protocol, but it seems pretty weak for that sort of data transfer. So 802.11 seemed a better solution...but for some reason Android folks decided to cripple the OS from recognizing ad hoc networks. Odd.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
You can still flash 1.5 ROMs. You just can't flash the 1.5 RUU.
