[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
The UK/RTEU and DACH difference is that in the build.prop, DACH 2.36.0 continues to use the original umts_sholes for ro.product.name and ro.product.device while UK/RTEU 2.36.0 changes it to MILESTONE and A853.

Facebook apk checks these values for some reason and only allows syncing on known devices. MILESTONE/A853 is new/not know for it therefore the sync options get canceled.

For me, it was really only the matter of editing of the build.prop and clearing of the facebook.apk data, facebook sync is working perfectly for me now (RTEU 2.36.0 here).

Not sure what went wrong in your case. When you check your build.prop on running system, is the umts_sholes really there as ro.product.name and ro.product.device?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CommanderThor:
Ah, my bad, aperently build.prop didnt got edited, now i edited manualy and sync is working:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Toadeh:
Might be a daft question, but if you install one of these ROM's, does it undo the rooting of the phone. And if so, is it just a case of reapplying the update.zip to get it back?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CommanderThor:
Can you just read small description on their webpage? It will replace all yes, undo everything. And yes you can simply root back, they even made it easier, just use their update.zip names GOT open Recovery, from there you can root, overclock and few other things.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DarkOne951:
Man, this thing keeps throwing me an error on trying to flash the .sbf. Keeps giving me the error "failed flashing process. (0x7100) phone connected".

The .sbf is at the root of my C:\ drive, and I'm running Win7 x64. Not sure whats causing the error.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
this does not work properly it does not install busy box cant get app2sd to work does not boot if installed over 2.1 with app2sd active ...man froyo is just around the corner think i will wait it out unless someone can give me some answers:mad:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTCDevil:
Has someone tried Overclock with G.O.T. Recovery at 720 mhz?

Is it permanent or not (every boot)?

Thanks friends :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CommanderThor:
It is permanant, but SetCPU and Milestone Overclcok both show me it runs at 800Mhz, not 720Mhz.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
hmmm i think its the version of busybox that was used for my 2.1 app2sd that is causing the problem.guess thats why i can't restore my apps dunno gues i gotta use titanium back up to restore.after some more research its my telus SHOLS_U2_02.31 2.6.29-omap1 rkg683@ca25rhe56 #1 boot image thats causing problems ?only things not working after upgrade is app2sd from got modding menu and overclock ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] G.O.T.:
Community:

Later today we will release G.O.T. OpenRecovery V1.03. We have included a couple of bugfixes and some other features such as custom overclocking menu, keyboard layout change menu and many others.

We will let you know via twitter when the new G.O.T OR will be released.

I've try all the way to get my ppc in the bootloader mode but it seems doesn't work(Record+SR,....)

any body can tell me why it is?

thks
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] nik3r:
does hard-reset menu work?

if so, try to hold both Rec + Power at once and softreset, don't release the keys until you see the tricolor screen
[Windows Mobile] appelflap:
Sorry for my ignorance :) but I wonder how one would procede to recompile a dumped rom of a particular device for another device *without* making to much changes.

In my case I want to "port" the OBOE debug rom to the HD2. And I want to do it by leaving all the EXT, OEM and SYS files *unchanged* (resolution of the oboe is the same as the leo). How should I go on?

(fyi, I would say that my cooking skills are just below intermediate)

EDIT: the rationale behind this is that I want to create a base wm 6.5.x rom from a HTC factory rom and work from there, instead of working from a customized 6.5.x HD2 rom and gradually replace packages from new leaked roms of other devices.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
keep the OEM main folders of your LEO and switch all the ext and addons OEM folder from OBOE.... it should work.. and remember to use your OEMXIPKERNEL payload and bla bla bal of your LEO too.
[Windows Mobile] totalcmdext:
Please give as more detail about main OEM folder and addons OEM folders
[Windows Mobile] Pisca:
Please note that Oboe Debug ROm, it's a Chinese ROM, requires a lot of tweaking to make it work with another language, not a straight copy of Ext packs and cook, have a look at HD2 Rom dev about that, also it's a ROm made for CDMA devices which creats another problem to port
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Porting is not an easy thing...you cant learn it from a guide...it comes with experience. Just my 2 cents...
[Windows Mobile] appelflap:
Alright thanks. Better wait for a 6.5.x WWE factory rom with the 800x480 resolution then. Didn't know btw that the Oboe was a CDMA device. Thanks for noticing that.

Well, the good thing is that I now know how to procede when a new rom comes out for another device. Thanks +Que PPC
[Windows Mobile] Pisca:
Also nother tip, I forgot to mention, Oboe Rom it's for Dual Sim device
[HD2 General] billyballard:
Can anyone please tell me how to see what ROM i am currently using. i.e. Vodaphone, O2, T-Mobile etc. I have only had the phone a couple of days and i want to update the ROM to latest unbranded version. Current version is 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The HTC support says i need the Vodafone ROM but i am sure my phone is unlocked and not sure if this will lock it again. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] theillustratedlife:
I have my phone plugged into my computer, and just had it wake itself twice with no input from me. I wonder if this could be a contributing factor to the EVO's lackluster battery.

Hey guys

i've been using Mesh for months now and love it when it works, problem is, i'm fed up now with seeing that "invalid xml" message and then noticing that some files haven't sync'd - usualy when I come to need them!

So, is there

an method to finaly fix the invalid xml message?

or

an alternative that will do everything mesh will do (on windows mobile)

I don't mind paying a small fee for an alternative if there is one. I did also come across windows live sync (the replacement?) when googling but it didn't seem to have a Winmo client ... maybe i missed it?

Thanks guys!!!

edit: sorry, just a few "must haves" for an alternative - cloud access to the files, 5gb storage, wifi/3g support, multiple directory sync'ing, obviously support Winmo and also windows Vista and 7. Remote access is a bonus!

Sony used to have this:

http://www.myhphone.com/manufacturer/accessories/sony-ericsson-mxe-60-flash-add-on/

I'm wondering if its possible to make one using the mini-usb port on this phone?

Perhaps one of those could even be modded to do it (Though wouldnt be ideal)

would make a cool product to sell!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ghost77:
What for ? camera is still crappy , its not like its DSLR for any worth while pictures real camera can't be beat at this point in time.

It will happen only if this is a huge success for samsung..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rodh257:
I dont' want to carry a DSLR whenever I'm hanging out with friends... a very small flash connected to my phone would be ok though
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Tht'd Be cool :D:D:D also they should make an external projector like the beam has bouilt in but the s is much finner so will look better :D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] boo6:
there is no reason to use the usb-port, just use a micro-tork if you can't live without it.

Right, and I suppose besides the DSLR, you also bring along a PSP for games, an iPod or Zune for music, a Garmin GPS receiver for maps, and a thick paperback book plus several newspapers as reading material.

But most of us would prefer the convenience of a all-in-one device even if it doesn't perform as well as multiple dedicated devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
flash on Digital Cameras are wasted.

if you want a real flash you need to get big, and goes for even professional cameras, also you need to calculate the size of the room and distance.

most people i've seen taking pictures with point and shoot cameras with build in flash, has horrible results.

the best result is to NOT use the flash at all, and just take the picture, if you really need illumination, use a CREE LED flash light. (something like this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13060) I always carry that with me, specially when I'm biking at night.

Most standard room lighting conditions are more than adequate enough for a good picture with a phone camera/point and shoot camera.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Deacster:
Hi All, I needs some help! :(

I have a Vodafone HTC Magic, all working fine until this morning when it has decided that it does not want to lock the screen.

I have it all set to require a pattern to unlock but this morning I have come to use it and noticed it didn't ask for the pattern.

I checked the settings and they were not set to require a pattern, no idea what changed it? Anyway I set them again but despite this everytime I lock the phone now (basically just by pressing the end call button) any button will bring it back to life and it is not asking for the pattern so everytime it's in my pocket and a button gets pressed the phone comes on!

I haven't installed any new apps and have tried turning it off and taking out the battery but the screen locking just wont work.

EDIT: Also noticed that the home button doesn't do anything now either!

Any ideas?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Deacster:
Replying to myself but thought I'd let anyone who was interested know that I sorted it. Not altogether happy though because it required a full factory reset! :mad:

Is my phone running Android or Windows?????? :confused:
[HD2 General] dexterslab:
found a novel way of stopping the htc album cache filling the phone memory up.

deleted the cache files, viewed one image to create the cache files again (but only taking few 100k). then set all files to read only.

albums still work ok, the hd2 is so quick generating the thumbnails i dont see the need to cache them at all

i need to see if zero length read only cache files will work also
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
how many photos do you have? it would take A LOT of photos of to fill uip the HD2 internal memory with thumbnail generation, even on a stock rom with less free space than a custom rom
[HD2 General] Starfury:
I have 52 pictures in the HTC Album thing on Sense (although I have about 500 dotted across the storage card which dont get opened) and mine goes upto 28Mb quickly
[HD2 General] dexterslab:
have over 200 pics now after just three months ownership, that will continually grow, so yes i consider it a problem
[HD2 General] pdahunter:
Thanks, it seems to function on my HD2. Will stay tuned, my cache files are still 1,5 MB ...
[HD2 General] dexterslab:
have just tried deleting all the cache files and replacing them with zero length read-only files, which also works
[HD2 General] pdahunter:
I did the same, it works fine.

It's really an inventive solution for that old album cache problem :)
[HD2 General] thegios:
how did u do that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atticus182:
I have started this thread to point out a serious problem for a lot of us, the SOD. For me, ActiveSync is causing the SOD's, and for others there may be other problems and fixes for it. This thread is meant to explain the definition of SOD, and be a collection of all available fixes for it. So please contribute to this thread, together we can defeat the SOD!

What is a SOD?

SOD stands for

Standby Of Death

or

Sleep Of Death

, which means that when trying to wake up the phone from standby with the power button, it is unresponsive and the screen won't turn on. The only solution is a soft-reset.

What is causing the SOD?

There are many 'possible' reasons why SOD's could occur, and the precise reason isn't clear. With some ROM's you will get alot of them, and some are almost SOD-free.

If you don't know what's causing it, why this thread?

Because in this thread, all possible fixes that have been tested by XDA members will be gathered, and thus can be tested by other XDA members to fix their SOD's

Will Task29 fix my SOD?

No, Task29 doesn't actually fix the SOD's from occuring. It does however decrease the possibility of getting a SOD.

SOD Fixes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
usually when i get SOD's its from installed apps.

Recently i've noticed elecont weather has been causing SODs for me. Uninstalled it and everythings back to normal. (forgot which version and haven't checked if theres been an update)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atticus182:
Alright thanks for the feedback, I'm adding all useful information to the first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
on a new rom and decided to give elecont weather another shot. now on version 1.4.2p and no SOD's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] boot_sectorz:
I think all those that have had SOD should let us know how they got it sorted.

I have spent days looking for a solution for my Touch Pro2 but no luck. This thread can solve alot of our problems if people report back what they did to solve theirs,

/Boot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fr3nZy:
I started expierencing the SOD issue this morning out of no where. I haven't intstalled anything for weeks and I've been running the sprint stock rom for months. I think mine might be a hardware issue. I flashed to NRGs rom and still had the issue. I flashed back to sprints stock rom and it's still happening EVERYTIME the phone goes into standby. I push the power button and the phone won't wake up. I can slide the keyboard out and the button backlights light up but none on the buttons/keys work.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] aaa:
Hallo guys,

I know this is a stupid question..but I am completely new to android....

I am planning to buy a HTC desire for me (after a hard time choosing desire over legend)and htc hero for my younger brother (yup...must be definitely a lot cheaper one)...

I am living in germany and I have no problem using germans but my bro back home doesn't understand a word in germans...

I plan to buy it brand new and without any form of branding from any operator...

Can I change the hero from germans to english completely? All...HTC sense, standard installed apps which come with the handset...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Yes you can... I bought my little Hero from eXpansys last year and it come with English, French, Deutsch and Italiano as default.

Menu > Settings > Language & Text > Here I am unsure what it is in English since I use Swedish (More Locale 2 @ Market rocks) but it's at the top and then you can change it to whatever you like...

HTC actually include more language files into the Hero than is normaly available to the different regions and to get to those you have to download More Locale 2 from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] aaa:
Thank you very much for your answer.

Have a nice day.

If you are talking about more pages in Titanium, then I don't know. If you are talking about Sense 2.5, then try Cookies Home Tab. If you are talking about Manila 2.0 or 2.1, then try Second Today.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Atze001:
I would like to have some settings in my own udpate.zip.

My problem are the permission settings in the update script.

I put some files in the data/data folder and they have wrong permissions and i get only FC´s.

Sample:

In my Update.zip there ist the LauncherPro and would be copyed in data/app

and the settings would be copyed in data/data.

But i get always FC´s cause the permissions are wrong.

I think i must edit the update script like this:

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:data

but that seems to be wrong, can someone help me??? Please.

Sorry for my horrible English.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cam123:
I checked email then I sent a text. A few minutes later, I got a response. I hit REPLY and the screen went white. I don't know why. It's never been dropped or put in water, etc. The phone had been in my pocket all day and was close to a full charge. I couldn't power down so I removed the battery and turned it back on. The phone vibrated as it does when it boots up but the screen remained black. I flipped out the keyboard and it was backlit as usual.

I tried a few times and never got anything going. The screen remained black but the phone got hot. Just now, I noticed the amber light blinking but it went solid when I plugged in the charger. I attempted to power it up once more and called from my landline- goes straight to voicemail, no rings. Hmm. Is my Tilt 2 Dead?

Any advice on how to resurrect my phone? AT&T gave me this refurbished model about 4 months ago (60 day warranty?) to replace the Fuze that died at 13 months (12 month warranty). I just want a phone that can last as long as my contract.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
try to put it in bootloader mode.

do this by holding the volume down button and powering on the device (if its already on then volume down button and press the soft reset button on the side of ur device with the stylus). Keep holding the volume down button until the 3 colored screen comes on with text in red.

if you can get it in bootloader than you can save the device

Sometimes mine hangs on startup several times in a row, to fix it, i take out the battery, put it back in, hold down the power button and volume down button till its in bootloader then soft reset with the button on the side of the device and it boots up

if that doesn't work then you may need to hard-reset/flash a new rom (all your data will be erased). If nothing comes on the screen then your screen could be dead.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cam123:
I charged it all night. When plugged in, the amber light is solid. When unplugged, the light turned off. The phone doesn't power up.

It did not respond to a soft-reset (holding the volume down button and powering on the device) nor a hard-reset (press and hold both the send and end hardkeys).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cam123:
AT&T is telling me it's dead. Um, I've got a different ROM loaded on this. Can I return it in this state? If they cant resurrect it, it doesn't matter?

Do I need to restore factory settings and, if so, how?

And, Warranty Dept. wants me to buy another one. They gave me this refurbished one four months ago with 90 day warranty. What are my chances here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
If the indicator light never went green, the battery may be at fault. Just a thought.
