[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
To cut a very long story short (as possible!) here is a letter i have written to the UK CEO of Vodafone:

Dear Mr Laurence,

I previously wrote to you regarding several issues that occurred for UK Vodafone customers who had been supplied by your company with an HTC HD2.

I applaud you for your swift action regarding this matter and most if not all of the problems surrounding the supply, warranty and functionality of this handset have been resolved.

You were the first of the major networks in the UK to release a ROM update for this device, but i feel this would not have happened without my letter to you or your prompt response.

I am therefore deeply saddened to have to write directly to you once more after discovering some disturbing facts about the supply of mobile internet to each and every one of your customers.

You may or may not be aware of a Live TV streaming service in the UK at tvcatchup.com.

This free streaming service requires a web browser that has adobe flash capabilities.

I have an HTC HD2 and know that by using the also freely available Skyfire browser i am able to view over 40 live TV channels directly on the tvcatchup.com website.

HOWEVER...

I recently discovered m.tvcatchup.com ... a mobile oriented version of the service. The mobile website allows you to choose whether you would like a high quality stream or a low quality version... your choice.

Another major difference between using m.tvcatchup.com and the normal website on an HTC HD2 is the live stream will run within the HD2's built in streaming player and not within a web browser window.

BUT...

Vodafone seem to be blocking any attempted connections by the in built streaming player to the free live TV stream.

The service works perfectly fine over wifi and also when using a T-Mobile SIM on the very same handset. I suspect it will also work with other network providers also but they remain untested by myself at present.

WHY ARE VODAFONE BLOCKING THIS SERVICE?

I would like this rectified as soon as possible as do many other UK Vodafone customers as seen by the response to this issue on your own customer support web forums.

I will remind you that i am a loyal customer of Vodafone UK and have been for more than 10 years. I pay my bills in full and on time every month including any data charges incurred by browsing the web over GPRS/3G/HSDPA.

What right do Vodafone have to restrict my service?

This is unacceptable.

What is even more astounding here is the discovery that the tvcatchup.com service streams perfectly well to the built in streaming app of a Vodafone supplied iPhone on the very same Vodafone UK network!

Why would this service be available to your iPhone customers without issue but blocked to everyone of your other customers?

I look forward to your response in this matter.

Kind Regards,
[HD2 General] Marct77:
Hmm,an interesting read,very well written letter I must say mate.

I await their response,should be worth waiting for eh....

As a side point I have no problems with Virgin Mobile and TV Catchup.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Very well written letter I look forward to you're response you, get and as the above poster confirms I also have no problem using Virgin UK
[HD2 General] xenept:
Nice letter.

As a phone operator, Vodafone do suck root. I am stuck with the idiots for another 18 months and each month there are more revelations from them squeezing customers even more.

Let us know if you get a response.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Take the caps out, format it with italics. Caps are really bad grammar, otherwise a very nice letter. :)
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Thanks for your support guys.

I cant actually believe the complete arrogance displayed by the moderators over at the Vodafone forums.

Read the following thread and you will see what i am on about: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/64258-mobile-internet-tv-catchup-streaming-blocked/

How are any of their customers supposed to voice their opinions if they keep locking threads?
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
thats great, lets just lock the thread every-time someone complains lol
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
i had another one completely deleted without a trace... shocking behaviour from a customer "support" forum.
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
I also have no problems using Orange UK
[HD2 General] Isadora:
It's normal behaviour from the mods on there. Had plenty of posts and a thread deleted from their forum when the FUP mess exploded lol. I'm 1 warning away from a ban on there :p
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
It has to stop to be fair. Their over zealous approach to anyone who has any complaint about their company is simply highlighting them as very sneaky corporate dictatorship. Its a totally bizzarre situation where a forum specifically designed to enable people to put up their complaints and have them resolved is being moderated in this manner.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I reposted the thread which was near instantly deleted from the VF eForum on the MSE forum http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2526069 as I know the Voda Web Team are authorised to reply in an official capacity on there... doubt they'll ever reply, they obviously don't like "difficult" questions :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
I didnt know anything about that particular issue so thanks for the heads up.

I received a phone call from the Directors office earlier and was promised some answers with regard to streaming by end of play Monday. I will be sure to raise this data allowance issue also.

Just for the record i also mentioned the over zealous nature of the Vodafone e-forum team when it comes to muting the public on top of their constant posting of misinformation (i have had to correct them a number of times in relation to their own services). I am hopeful that this will get addressed in a proper manner.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It shows some commitment on their part that you're even getting a response from that sort of level. I couldn't imagine O2 doing the same.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
I would hope so but to be honest i cant help but feel that they are responding to me in a timely manner due to my history with them :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621788&highlight=rom+update+vodafone

As you can see (and as mentioned in my letter in the first post) this isnt the first time i felt the need to write to their CEO. Its not a good look for either party if this keeps happening.
[HD2 General] crispy514:
I understand quite a few of the UK mobile operators are adding into the small print limitations on the data plans...

So where you think you have an unlimited data plan you actually have limitations on certain types of data.. ie internet or certain streaming sites...

I suspect Vodafone are doing this...
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
To be fair they are entitled to restrict any content they want on their own network. The real issue here is the simple inconsistent, unfair and unbalanced nature of their restrictions. I quoted TV Catchup as a perfect example as iPhone users have no problem streaming from m.tvcatchup.com ... so what about everyone else? Yes HD2 users can use skyfire and stream directly in the browser using the normal website, but the point is the restrictions should either apply for everyone or no-one.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I did email our friend Guy after the Web Team messed up again... Basically the story goes thus:

1) After they said on 1st June we could swap the "unlimited" 500MB data allowance for a 1GB one, I asked them to do exactly that and received an email confirmation from the web team that they had changed my plan to 1GB, and that the price, contract end date and all other allowances would remain as they were. After 3 weeks of email (mis)communication, I thought it was finally all sorted...

2) the day after that, and in true VF style, I got a "you have exceeded your 500MB data allowance text" so as I was now on a 1GB allowance I tought it could be one of 2 things: a) the system hadn't quite caught up with itself or b) the VF Web Team had f****d up again. Hmmm better check which so email back to the web team...

3) reply from them "sorry I made a mistake, you cannot have unlimited landlines with the new plan, so what I set up didn't save". Eh? Where does it say that in their announcement.

4) Toys out of the pram time, email to Guy which resulted in the people from the Director's Office to get in touch and we managed to agree an "acceptable compromise"

332 days until the end of my contract and after that it's bye bye Vodafail.

Edit: Ooooh I seem to have earned myself yet another "final warning" (erm, that's my 3rd final warning lol) from the VF mods, I'm scaaaaaaaaared, they are threatening to ban me :p Oh and all I did was suggest to some girl who was going nowhere with CS to email the CEO to get things moving, I did not give the name or the email address. Apparently my post was not "providing help or guidance to others"... muppets...

I have my nike for 18 months now.

My power button is not responding anymore.

This means that I can not turn off the phone completely. Which also means that if it ever runs out of battery i might not be able to turn it on either.

What options do i have? can i assign another button to operate as power?

Thank you
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] davidtwhittle:
No,you can't prefer other button as a power button.You have to go for a new one.

[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
To put it in simple terms, they are two completely different types of devices (even if they are variants of the same device (ie Vogue and Elf, Blue Angel and Harrier, etc). One of them uses a SIM card (GSM) and the other one is identified by its network via an ESN / pESN.

Normally, the different variants have their own specific name and you gotta make sure that the rom that you are flashing is meant for that device. Or else, as some people stated above, you will brick your device.

Hope this helps.

Let me add me 1 dime to this SOD discussion. This is my current configuration:

OS Version: 5.2.21887(21887.5.0.86)

Manila Version: 2.5.20121225.0

ROM Version: 2.07.707.1 (80303) WWE

ROM Date: 02/04/10

Radio Version: 4.49.25.91

As can be see this is a Win 6.5 Upgrade from the Asia HTC support site. When i bought the Phone it came with the GCC Win 6.1. Then i upgraded to Win 6.5 Asia after a Hard-SPL. When the new series of 2.0 ROM versions came out, i upgraded to the European version. Virtually every 3 days or so i get a SOD. I was about downgrading to 6.1 back when i decided to give the Asia version of ROm 6.5 a try. And its over 4 weeks now since this upgrade and i am yet to have an SOD.

Does this indicate anything?

Hey guys,

For the last month I've been receiving text messages late. Ranging from 10 minutes to 3 hours. I've had the NSF ROM installed on my phone for about a year and its been fine. Any ideas what would cause this or how to fix it?

I've done a hard reset and I'm still having this problem...
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It might be an issue with your carrier rather than your phone. You could try to update the PRL, maybe that will help.

Thanks! I've never done a PRL update on the Touch, are the some instructions or a walkthru for it? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again!
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Find and download the latest PRL for your carrier to your device (google PRL +carrier name). Go into EPST and go to the PRL page, upload the new one from wherever you saved it. Reboot your phone and you are done...

If you need further clarification then have a look at this app I was using on my old N95 called SymNAS:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] watcher64:
I seriously doubt it would faster than usb ...

Unless you have a 400MB wireless network ...

but regardless of speed I have looked for this as well, there are apps that let you transfer files to the phone over wifi but have not seen one that lets it act as a network drive ... yet ....

The HTC network plugin lets you map a drive on your phone though ....

a. remove micro sd and use an adapter

b. use usb cable and choose mass storage drive

Hi,

I'm using an O2 XDA Orbit 2 (HTC Polaris) with vintage WM6.1 to connect my Vista laptop to the internet.

The internet sharing app on the phone normally works fine, but whenever my laptop enters standby mode and the connection sharing is active, it freezes and can only be reactivated by soft-resetting the phone.

As opposed to that, suspend to disk and shutting down the laptop work fine - the app simply diconnects.

Is this a known problem and are there any patches or fixes for it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ol:
I was tired with the stock autobrightness sensor always setting screen too bright for my eyes - i read in the darkness at night. So i wrote this little thing (thanks to britoso).

Right now it has 4 different brightness settings depending on the ambient light.

as always - created for NEXUS One, tested on FroYo. Needs ROOT

Known issues - not smooth brightness change..

Donno how it will affect the battery life, i may change the sensor sensitivity in the future.

pre-alpha :p

Comments welcome.

p.s. remember to disable system auto-brightness in settings.

I have te opposit feeling i don't like auto-brightness because it's always to low for me :P (next to the ipod my screen is lot darker in same light condition)...

I will look into your app later today but maybe an idea to have a slider for adjusting it higher or lower by yourself to fit everyones needs ;)

Will try later, but sounds good to me!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ol:
hm :) ye i think ill add some customization so u can select preferred brightness for different lights.. its not hard just need time..

also i still havent decided on how much "steps" should it have..

right now its 4 - full daylight, in-home light, dark-room light, full darkness..

i can set it to a max of 255 steps.. but i guess its not needed + i think that the more sensitive the sensor is the more battery it consumes.. although im not sure
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Great idea. Runs fine.

some suggestions:

1) add a progress bar (0..max_value) set to the current sensor value. Alongside the digital value.

2)show the current brightness setting next to or below the sensor value. A progress bar with 4 stops will look good here too.

Its nice to see my android react to its surroundings :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I've not been successful with the max_brightness setting for the led yet.

Does not matter how many apps open their own shell, its important that the shell is reused though.

The desire path should be similar to the path for LEDs. /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/....

guess thats why i receive random FCs sometimes with my app..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
hi,

just ran across your app.

Do you think there is a way to lower the brightness below androids default low setting? It is still to bright for me at night, so would be great to have something like a "night-mode". i do not want to disable auto-brightness, that works fine for me, it is just the minimum setting that bothers me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kolyan:
this might end up being very nice after a few updates....brightness level on Android NEVER goes to minimum level even at night which results in useless battery drain.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
hm, so who can do this? A simple widget that sets brightness to the absolute minimum...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
you can use scripter (needs root,busybox) to run a simple command that does it.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

max brightness is 255

Above script as a qr-code thats scannable in "scripter"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kolyan:
There is a widget light that. I am personally looking for Automatic solution with possibly adjustable light sensor sensitivity
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
.. thanks! just found out i can do this with tasker too :D

tasker has been released today to the market :)

edit: hm, ok.. screen is still to bright with value = 1 :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
make sure auto brightness is off.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
There's an app that was posted in this forum which I just found free in the Market

App Title: Dimmer (Night Mode)

Dev: geekyouup

Nothing automatic about it. Opening the app sets brightness to 10. Open again and it says brightness=90.

Sorry if this doesn't help, but seemed relevant.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] torchedlh:
This app definitely has potential. Would love the ability to fully customize the levels and cut off points (let the user define the number of brightness levels, the brighness %, and the light sensor ranges). Would be PERFECT if it also integrated with settings profiles or simply had a low battery brightness default option. Because right now I use settings profiles to lower the brightness when I reach low battery and unfortunately right now it looks like your app overrides that.
