[XPERIA X10 General] jimsey:
I thought that now we have a rootable signed rom even if SE patch the exploit in future firmware, we can always downgrade to the current firmware then install customizations from there.

I dont see an easy way for SE to block downgrading as the current signed firmware is hosted all over the web and it can be flashed using the debranding method without connecting to SE servers.

what will be interesting to see is whether root gives us a way of signing new firmware or flashing non signed firmware..

ohhh the possibilities !
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
There is only one version of 1.6. The rest is just changes made by the manufacturers.

From my prior experience with HTC, once you achieve root, you NEVER want to update your phone using their official Rom. NOT matter how enticing the newer version of the rom is. It is on the manufacturers' interest to close the loopholes.

For example, when the Rogers branded HTC Magic was upgraded to include the Sense interface, it closed the root. People had to wait like three months before someone could root the phone again.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I don't think SE will try to patch the root. Why do I think that?

(1) It takes them so long to even come out with firmware/OS to begin with, it's just too much effort for them to add anything else on the plate.

(2) Se knows that blocking any efforts will hurt their bottom line, they want to sell more devices so why hurt that?
[XPERIA X10 General] thedinks:
SE could actually patch the loop hole or whatever in an update by accident anyhow.....
[XPERIA X10 General] mangiant:
Exactly. Waiting for 2.1 to be released might be a fruitless waste of time.

The best option is to hide the roothack mechanism as best they can. There's only so much you can do.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I'd agree, were past decisions not to the contrary. If they really wanted to sell more devices, they:

1.) wouldn't have released buggy firmware to reviewers the world over, resulting in mediocre to poor reviews prior to launch.

2.) would have included multi-touch support in the X10 hardware, as they had originally stated.

3.) would not be taking their sweet time getting an OS update out for the X10 line, and would more than likely already have 2.1 available with 2.2 set for later this year.
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
......and perhaps SE would be secretly happy that root has been achieved so that moves all of us complainers off their backs so they can focus on updates for the majority of their users...

[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:
once rooted why would we even download SE's 2.1 update ? or any other SE update ? no need too
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Of course not, but chances are that they'll start shipping the new phones with it already installed. Like the X8 or any X10 made after the release for that matter.
[XPERIA X10 General] Thepuffytaco:
True, but some of the features included in Sony's update would be integrated into a cooked ROM update.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm thinking of being able to root the ones released with an update already installed. I doubt it will happen, it's just food for thought at this point.
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
quick question..

what's the point of them closing the loopholes?

i mean.. it's not like nintendo ds or psp where you hack it and you can d/l games for free and they lose revenue on that..

we just want to be able to use the phone to it's max potential ..how it was meant to be when built..

so why is this not supported by companies and why do they make it hard for ppl to root?

Hi I'm trieng to get my script to run once an hour...

lets say 12:00, 13:00, 14:00 etc..

I think I've tried everything possible but no succes..:(

someone please help..
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
I wouldn't call it elegant, but have you just tried the brute force method? Go to the queue, long press on the script and select copy, and then one hour later. Rinse and repeat, 22 more times. :D
[General Questions and Answers] young blade:
thats not the problem..:)

the problem is that the script wont run.. but it does in script mode..

Now I'm executing the script using CT schedular so it wil run every hour in skschema..:cool:
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
I haven't had sk schema that long, but I've run into a similar issue once or twice. For whatever reason, I can't get scripts to run that turn on wi-fi. Executing the script works, but it doesn't do jack when sk schema runs it on schedule. This includes using the wifi on command as well as running a script that opens the comm manager and then taps the wifi toggle. I did find I could turn on wifi using a click and drap approach with xtask (which has a wifi toggle). I don't know what the deal is.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackyaway:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tsalta:
The App is Good and work Super on Blackstone one Suggestion.. When you bloow you hear one time LOOP so will be really great if the bloowing is real i mean if you bloow longer to hear longer the sound if you bloow shorter the sound to be short too not everytime the Wuvuzela to play the same way no matter how do you bloow:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Win_XP:
Thanks, this is amazing app, the sound is like hmm... african :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mord4z:
It's great! Tested on my Treo Pro, some issues:

The app don't fit to the SQVGA screen, can you release a qvga version?

When I force to close the app I can't open it again without restarting my device.

After close the app there's no more sound system need to restart the device
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Conradfreak:
Truly a great App.

But the microphone blowing doesnt work for me.

It says that my device is not supportet???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rkrims:
which device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Conradfreak:
Its a Touch Diamond 2 Fake... T5355. ;-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rkrims:
Well maybe because it is fake?

Does mic work for other applications?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Conradfreak:
Yeah in other Apps it works very well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pckshd:
Have you calibrated the mic at settings? (check the option, blow straight into it and then tap Ok)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esackbauer:
I have the problem that when I started Wuvuzela on Touch Diamond2 with Stock ROM, the mic will no longer work in phone mode. This sucks.

A soft reset seems to be the only workaround.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rkrims:
Maybe you need to close the app to talk... not the ideal but anyway its a fun app.

Anyone tried amplifying it?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] skullkandy:
I called t-mo customer support to gripe about the constant syncing problem. They told me that it was google trying to sync the calendar and that google was working on a fix. I asked the rep if he thought I was dumb because I can go into sync settings and see that it's t-mobile sync that is running constantly not google. After that he told me they are just supposed to say it's google.

I've never had a problem with my service and the way the company takes care of their customers is why i'm still with them instead of switching to a company with better phones (which is pretty much every other cell provider) But really, purposefully lying and trying to blame issues on google because they can't figure out what they did wrong, that's just sad.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Etype R:
I think their CS is getting to soft and fluffy...

The past few times I have called them, they praise me for being with them since 2008 and mention it 3 or 4 times. Most of their reps don't seem to know much about android at all, just what they read from their computer screen.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
At least on my end, this is not true. I have ONLY Google listed on my Sync screen and have zero issues. I deleted T-Mobile's sync as well as Facebook and all is right in the world. In fact, the constant sync didn't go away with JUST T-Mobile deleted, which leads me to believe it's either Facebook or a combination of Facebook and T-Mobile Sync that is doing something funky.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] skullkandy:
Yeah, google has never caused my sync issues, it's always the t-mo sync which i don't even use because i keep everything on my google account.

I would ask how you deleted them but I'm not exactly the brightest guy when it comes to this stuff so I'd rather wait for a good stable rom that has all that social networking trash removed already for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
i've been with them since '98 and a long 12 years it has been, up until android came along i was always hard-pressed to find a phone that would be an upgrade from what i was using at the time. once i switched to smartphones they got less and less helpful as a company but always thank me for being with them as long as i have. they do have the best customer service which is why i use them, and now that they are on top of the android game i love them a little more and may be getting hired in the next few days as a sales rep(finally start getting paid for all my sales)

back on topic though, even with t-mo sync disabled it does this, though today it hasn't been nearly as bad syncing all day.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] donepate:
I worked at T-Mo for three years. They do not hire people for their brain power. They hire salesmen. Plain and simple. You are held responsible for how many people start up new service with you, not how many problems you fix. That's the reason I left. I spent my time trying to do the right thing and got punished for it. Speak up people, or you will never be heard.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
yeah but that's how all sales jobs are now, i do like to fix people's problems, but selling is SUPPOSED to come first by the book so if i can do both i will love my job. i have a pretty solid customer base right now and i don't even work for them yet, i like to go into the store and get sales, then hand them off to my buddy who does work there
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rnrstar:
fwiw, i tried deleting the tmo sync account from the settings/accounts& sync menu; it said i would need to do a full phone reset/data wipe to get rid of the account....im not gonna do it bc im lazy and dont want to reset up my phone...i only get the sync issue once i reboot the phone so its not a big deal for me to stop it once every other day or so.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
Just a warning: That phone reset will not allow you to delete the account, as it will still be tied to whatever apps it's tied to. Already tried it. I posted the method for actually deleting it in another thread on here (too tired to find it right now, haha), but you have to do it after flashing a ROM and before booting for the first time, so you'd have to do all the re-setting up the phone anyway.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] skullkandy:
I hear you. I work for a huge corporation that sells websites and hosting. I'm one of the few legacy people left who knows the business, all they hire now are salesmen to cram more product down peoples throats without any knowledge of those products or the industry. I mean there are probably only about 2 other people here who know what an FTP is yet they sell hosting and websites to small businesses.

If I take the time to help some of these poor people who got suckered into buying a badly supported product and try and give the company a good image I get punished for "wasting time that I should be spending selling."
[myTouch 3G Slide General] AFP520:
I turned off auto syncing, sure enough the sync icon is there and take a guess which one the culprit is.

I'm really pissed off we can't remove this T-MO account thing. It's not necessary since we have the google sync.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
You actually can remove it after flashing a new ROM...

Tmo Contact Util <---Advance Task Killer

Everytime I kill it, the sync icon goes away

Everytime it pops back up, its running again. Is this the Tmo sync app your all talkin about....its drivin me nuts and eating my battery.

Edit: Also found something strange, when you go to General Sync Settings. (settings > Accounts&sync) Click "Tmobile" where you can there "uninstall it"..thoughit will wipe all your personal settings, so I opted not to. But I did notice it says the last time it synced was the 19th at 5am?

This is prolly why its consistently trying to sync. Tmos Servers are borked, its software on the phone is WAI but cannot communicate with its servers and the software just keeps trying to connect
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mitchgdodge:
So did I.

I also called customer care multiple times about my phone. Problems with syncing, problems with battery life, problems with DUST UNDER MY SCREEN. Anyways! They also could not give me one single problem with the syncing feature. Also they keep telling me no one else has called with problems regarding this phone? So I do not know what T-Mobile is trying to pull, but they are sending me a brand mew MT3GS this week. I do not know if I am going to keep it or not becuase I am still under my buyers remorse.

[EVO 4G General] noxipoo:
use HTC sync. i didn't hack my phone or anything, straight out of the box, downloaded HTC sync from their website and then when you plug in the usb cable, select share internet connection when it asks on the phone. that's it... i figure it's provided by HTC, it's allowed?

[HD2 General] DopeWeasel:
First off - this is on TMOUS, stock 2.13 ROM

I noticed this last night when trying to activate my wife's visual voicemail on her new HD2 (I got mine on the release day, and we picked hers up for free over Father's day... happy father's day wifey :p ).

If I call 800-937-8997 from my device, it hides the phone keypad and automatically opens the "My Account" app, this in itself is annoying because I already know I can't get my question answered there. However, I noticed that I couldn't put the call on speaker (so I had to listen to Miley Cyrus' cat-like voice screaming into my right ear, T-Mobile... this is not cool) and after hanging up ALL subsequent calls to any other number have the speaker disabled. It is not until I actually soft reset the device that I can use the speakerphone again.

I accidentally clicked on the number in my history and the same thing happened today so I can replicate the bug. Anyone else notice this same thing?

-----

Edit: I also posted this over at the HTC Forums and at least one other person has noticed this after a call with TMobile(611).
