[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtieQ:
I'm trying to get that clock working where you have 2 different timezones, but it is just showing Central Europe and I can't seem to add another timezone, just citities.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtieQ:
No one knows? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
The label can only be cities; not timezones. That is, it'll say "New York" rather than "Eastern Time".

So, just pick a city that's in the timezone that you want displayed...

Detailed instructions:

Open the Clock application

Swipe to the "World Clock" tab

Press "Menu" key

Tap "Home settings"

Search for and select the city.

Your other clock's time and location will depend on where you are at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartse:
Hi guys n gals,

I just received 2.1 OTA. Very nice but I expected Car Home, Friendstream and Live Wallpapers and got nothing...

Ive been searching my butt off but didnt find these apps. Can any one of you help me or point me to the right direction. If that direction by any chance involves .apk files, could you please point me to an explanation on how to use these aswell?

TIA!

Bart
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Maybe...... they could be an update 3????? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polakscot:
You think so?

They never bothered with the Sprint Hero update..:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:
No they won't make an update 3... They said that they will give us only 2 updates.. So for now those options will be in custom rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
For me this version of 2.1 can't be considered as definitive, there are to much bugs and missing things.

What sounds strange to me is that in the firmware version is set as 2.1-update1 and not as 2.1.

Does it means that we can hope about a 2.1-update2 or a definitive 2.1 version ?

Wait before you call me fool. I don't believe and don't wait for another version or some patches from HTC.

I was juste asking to myself why the firmare is called 2.1-update1 and not simply 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olafos:
IT just means, that it's based on 2.1-update1 which was a version released by Google shortly after 2.1 I think the main feature of that update was multitouch, which was not in the first 2.1.

So, no, this doesn't say anything about possible future upgrades.

But yeah I agree... There are new bugs... they fixed some old bugs and introduced new ones, including minor annoyances e.g. the download bar in the browser will just hover over some text instead of being properly displayed in the correct row, sometimes graphic glitches when transitioning landscape<->portrait, leap<->shome, desk clock... etc.

I mean, come on. It's not exactly rocket science to fix them, so HTC I expect remedies for the bugs. There's a list of bugs/issues the Sprint Hero has somewhere on the net. Most of it applies to our GSM Heroes... and it's a looong list.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xshunin:
So I've been using AIMP2 for a while and to transfer songs I just set the storage card on my Winmo device to "Hard Disk". That went well for a while till I noticed that some Apps which are installed on the storage card didn't work properly after I changed it to Hard Disk.

Winamp had the feature to "synchronise" playlists with WinMo devices. AIMP2 on the other hand does not have that feature but is a way better audio player for windows.

So what I've been asking myself is, if it would be possible to write a tool for windows that synchronises a playlist (*.m3u8 format since I need unicode) with a folder on the storage card while in Active Sync mode.

It basically should go like parsing the playlist and copy the files over to the WinMo device. I can do a little C# but that's it. I don't know how to access the WinMo device =/

I'd appreciate a little help on this.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:
Well... I migrated to a Nexus One from an iPhone 3GS and have used a significantly larger amount of data. Anyone else seen anything similar? Does the iPhone go through proxies that compress data that much before sending it to the phone? ...or am I just using the NexusOne

A LOT

more?

Past usage graph:

I got my N1 on May 30 or 31...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
The N1 multi-tasks (running processes may be transmitting/downloading data), pushes e-mail, and has widgets (periodically update).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:
Oh yeah... good point! Another thing I thought about, the N1 has a file manager and I have been pretty much downloading anything I want off the internet, where I couldn't do that with the iPhone.

I find that the N1 is much more capable of true PC tasks than the iPhone. I think Google should create an iPad-like device based off the Nexus One, I could actually see one of those replacing a laptop, where as I could never replace my laptop with an iPad...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
data

my usage is about the same, averaging around 4-7gbs a month. Dont have internet service at home, and do use it as a hotspot. Works pretty well for the most part, 3g service is pretty solid and decent speeds for emails and reading the paper. Plus download new roms, probably my biggest data hog
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:
Yeah... I very rarely use mine as a hotspot...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
My usage was about that high my first month tethered for maybe ten minutes or so doing work email. Recent months have been significantly lower,closer to yourold average. You're right about being able to do more though and I think that's a big factor.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
I went from under 1 gb a month to nearly 3 gb the first month I had my Nexus One. I think a lot of it was google listen..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
Not at all. It's a direct line, well as direct as it gets when your IP address changes every time you open the browser.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrian:
This thread definitely makes me feel better. I'll be switching to an iPhone 4 in the next few weeks (flame all you want) and my data usage with my N1 (with mild tethering at times) has peaked at about 1.5 GB, so if it'll be less with an iPhone then there's no way I can see myself running over the 2 GB plan.

On topic, I honestly am very surprised I use as much data as I do with my Nexus One, as I mostly browse the web or use Wapedia, sometimes I'll browse Facebook, and I use it to play MP3s in my car which scrobble to Last.fm. Once in a blue moon I'll tether with it so I can download drivers and such for a customer (I run a computer repair business) but always well under 200 MB. How that all added up to 1.5 GB is certainly beyond me...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
bit off topic but how do you find out your monthly data usage on Tmoblie, its not on my bill and I cant find it anywhere?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woll0039:
Wow, I'm glad I keep WIFI on all the time. That could be me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
my data usage definitely increased with the nexus. and not just from more usage, but andoid OS uses more data in general. lots of behind the scenes data packets being sent, google servers, gmail, live widgets, etc. android uses a good amount of data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
FLASH!

(10char)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachson:
I dont know what limits you have on your "unlimited" data packages but what I have is packages per 100KB in/out (every provider has it different)

So I pay for every started 100KB package - 1 for received, 1 for send. So i.e when I check weather I send 1KB and receive 5KB but I pay for 200KB.

And it was not a problem when I was using iPhone as it was maintaining session ALL day long and at midnight it was resetted and new session was opened. In other words if one day I did 1000 internet connections 10KB each I would use 10MB - it was iPhone.

Nexus one is not maintaining one session as he is opening new session for every internet connection so now the same 1000 connections 10KB each would be counted as 1000 connections per 100KB (becasue smallest package is 100KB) so I would pay for 100MB (10 times more!!).

You can check it on your billing - when I had iPhone there was one session line per day, when I switched to Nexus1 I have A LOT of sessions line every day...

Not sure if this is you case but could be useful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
Well, since iPhones now can no longer get signal if you, you know, HOLD them (and to think, we complained about the Nexus and its 3G!), iPhone data usage should be much lower.

Here is a link from Gizmodo France that really shows what is what...

http://www.gizmodo.fr/2010/06/28/comment-obtenir-5-batons-avec-liphone-4.html

(Translates to "how to get 5 bars with an iPhone 4)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:
The data on my bill shows up as a lump sum each day (ocassionaly twice a day)... It looks like my N1 is running all day sessions as well.
[Wildfire Android Development] wildfire275:
Do any current methods allow the wildfire to be rooted yet?

I can confirm the bootloader is 0.80

MOD EDIT (AUG-17 2010):

[GPL] 1-Click Soft Root

User MartinEve has managed to get a temporary software-only root solution that will allow you to run some applications that require SU.
[Wildfire Android Development] Wam7:
I am thinking of getting one for my daughter and was wondering the same thing but from the fact there is only a general forum and not one for Android development I suspect that it is not possible to root.

When will we see a ROOT for the wildfire?
[Wildfire Android Development] brokenworm:
Root wildfire

someone plz post the old rooting guide that paul removed...

i would like to look at it... ordered a wildfire today .. uses same qualcomm chip version as tattoo .. meaning we have RW on system on both devices soon

:D
[Wildfire Android Development] purplegnash:
Htc wildfire

any updates to rooting wildfire yet?

I think the method given at

wwwdotgadgetsdnadotcom/how-to-root-htc-wildfire-android-phone/4499/

should work.
[Wildfire Android Development] andikasaja:
Well, indeed I read this thread as well but having some doubt as it was mentioned that the method should work for bootloader version of 0.80 or below and ROM version 1.14.xxx.x or below.

My wildfire came with software number of 1.15.707.1

Is it okay to try that tutorial ?
[Wildfire Android Development] KEriksen:
"meaning we have RW..." What does that mean?

Shouldn't you make a backup of the original ROM before doing any root stuff? I'm reading this article saying you can't at this time, so I guess it's better to wait - or what?
[Wildfire Android Development] purplegnash:
i found a copy of the original ROM at

shipped-romsdotcom/shipped/Buzz/

so if anything goes wrong while rooting it, isnt it possible just to restore the ROM using this?
[Wildfire Android Development] purplegnash:
You can always check your phone's ROM and bootloader versions by starting it with the optical trackpad key held down. just dont mess with anything there and select reboot using the volume keys :)

@brokenworm - the method given at gadgetdna is what paul originally uploaded at modaco
[Wildfire Android Development] brokenworm:
Testing this modaco publication as we speak

Ok, I see that the method is the one posted earlier, and it doesn't work. Sucks!
[Wildfire Android Development] purplegnash:
Well this sucks. Guess we'll have to wait now. :(
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
I got 1.15 Rom version as well and the rooting process got stuck at the stage of "signature verification failed"

Hope they got and update of the update.zip soon.......

[Wildfire Android Development] JMT668:
any more news on a root yet? Getting my wildfire on friday I hope!
[Wildfire Android Development] Skye Menjou:
Not yet, I heard Paul who did the rooting for the Review version of the Wildfire is on a vacation and will be back soon.
[Wildfire Android Development] JMT668:
cool! Hope he's back soon!

I really want to get started on the Root when the Wildfire arrives on Friday.
[Wildfire Android Development] Djolenzze:
cant wait to root mine, would be nice to put froyo on it... much better than 2.1 sense, just hope there will be developers who can make froyo work on Buzz.. :)

yeah froyo would be sweet!
[Wildfire Android Development] brokenworm:
Froyo91 will be a stock HTC release in a few month

Iv made a new update.zip 11 mb it update only recovery and busybox. Bin and some other .. whole files cannot contain alot of files ..and iv resigned the zip with a other test key.. also .... and it do work ...just saying... ;)

Can anyone get wifi tethering to work on the buzz or must it be rooted first?

Sent via my Desire
[Wildfire Android Development] brokenworm:
U need froyo or root
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
Yes! I have Romed my wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
How exactly?!
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
It was simple. I run the ROM 1.15.707.1, during the installation it asked if I want to update the ROM, I selected yes, it made a fast reboot on the phone.

At this time the LCD of phone went black with only a HTC word written on it. The RUU application status was waiting for the phone, but nothing happened. If you unplug the usb cable at this time the black screen on the LCD will be replaced by some bootloader menu which includes the "RUU" line, but when you reconnect the USB cable, the black screen with "HTC" word will appear again.

The RUU software stops at this stage, telling it could not find the Wildfire. But if you run it again and select next (while the phone is still showin the black screen) it will detect the phone and complete the ROM installation.

Good luck
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
Update.zip

I have spent my past week trying to run a simple command as superuser on wildfire, including the Paul method, and other methods available for the other htc phones.

Now I believe the main problem to resolve is running an "update.zip" successfully, without the "Signature verification failure".

I have used several tools and scripts on the web to create a simple update.zip, but everytime I got that error.

Is there any idea how we can escape that killing error?
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
Worked like a charm, I didn't even have to unplug the USB to kick start it again. Nice one dude, thanks!
[Wildfire Android Development] turbocrow:
SO that means it can now be rooted I am thinking of getting this phone and would like it if it was rootable :)
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
No, it's only an escape from damages by wrong rooting attempts!
[Wildfire Android Development] warriorvibhu:
Who said anything about rooting .... :( not yet available .. developers can now take a little risk and try rooting their phones coz then they can get everything back to normal if anything goes wrong . i am waiting a reply from Paul today then will try to root my bro's phone he is gonna kill me for it lol :) keep your fingers crossed....
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
If you haven't already read... it looks like a rootkit was released at DEFCON could provide some relief if it makes its way into the wild...
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
It's also useful for de-branding your device ;o)
[Wildfire Android Development] entrik:
i tryed with "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe" downloaded from

and i do it as you wrote but it failed wit error 131: wrong ID of customer. is there any option how to pass trough this? i buyed htc wildfire from T-mobile and it have his loading logo. btw i'm from czech republic
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
It seems a security check in HTC RUU to prevent debranding or branding! I can install the unbranded RUUs, but I can not install the branded ones as my phone was originally unbranded
[Wildfire Android Development] entrik:
and is there any chance to change ID or somehow fix this error? or somehow unbranding?
[Wildfire Android Development] JMT668:
So still no root?
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
I'm sure as soon as there is one we'll hear about it. Be patient =o)
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Can I just confirm, are the people having problems doing so from a bootloader version of 0.80 or lower, and a ROM version of 1.14.xxx.x or below, or will Paul's original method work if these requirements are met?
[Wildfire Android Development] warriorvibhu:
If both the said requirements are met you can root your phone....but i would still say wait for some time till a safe unroot method is available too...
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Sounds like a good plan to wait for safe restore! ;)

Also, just to confirm: is HBOOT 0.80-002 included in "0.80 or lower"? (seems to be revision 2 of 0.80, if I'm reading that right)
[Wildfire Android Development] Dr_Death:
any update in rooting 1.15.707.1 ?
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Sadly not; I think people are more concerned with breaking the new HBOOT lockout problem.

Also: make sure to read the important warning about OTA updating to Froyo ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7511831 ); chances are that you will push your HBOOT version to a state that is far harder to root.

If someone was feeling brave, they could downgrade their HBOOT version to 0.80 or lower ( http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934 ), downgrade their ROM to 1.14 or lower and try the original root...
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Does this not constitute a safe unroot?:
[Wildfire Android Development] azakic:
Hi,

I have version 2.1-firmvare update1 Baseband 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 Build number CL183733 Software 1.14.405.2. The original method does not work, report errors:

"Writing recorvery '... INFOsignature checking ...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" and

"e: failed to verify whole-file signature".

What is more that needs to rooted my phone?
[Wildfire Android Development] Skye Menjou:
Its not possible yet.

The root procedure was for the old HBOOT of the review version.
[Wildfire Android Development] Dr_Death:
what about HBoot 0.80 with ROM 1.15, will the original method work with it ?

or its better to wait for android 2.2 "Froyo" to be rooted then update and root my device?
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Certainly not; as has already been mentioned, doing an OTA update to Froyo could well push your HBOOT to a version far harder to root.
[Wildfire Android Development] nealed:
Can anyone post the r1 buzz root zip pls

Hello,

running the stated versions of HBoot et I would like to try following Paul's procedure but cannot download the r1 buzz boot files.

[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Here's another interesting possibility that I have found:

http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html

A new vulnerability that seems to exist in many android subsystems; works on HTC Hero, X10, Droids, G2 Touch etc.

(this is what easy root uses)

I'm going to get a cross-compile environment up and running and see how it goes.

Best,

Martin
[Wildfire Android Development] xarnze:
Does anyone know if this will work?

koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Getting somewhere with exploid?

Ok, so I spent last night and some of this morning playing around the the trickery exploit.

The first thing I tried was to change the block device for system remount to /dev/mtdblock3:

if (geteuid() == 0) {
clear_hotplug();
/* remount /system rw */
if (mount("/dev/mtdblock3", "/system", "yaffs2", MS_REMOUNT, 0) < 0)
mount("/dev/mtdblock3", "/system", "yaffs", MS_REMOUNT, 0);
copy(path, "/system/bin/rootshell");
chmod("/system/bin/rootshell", 04711);
for (;;);
}

The remount code seems to be executed, as my mount state then reads:

/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw 0 0

whereas before the exploit was run it was:

/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 ro 0 0

However, clearly, this directory still requires root permissions to write to it and the exploit still has no luck with actually copying itself to /system/bin/rootshell

Furthermore, once the exploit has been run, certain hotplug actions cause an instant reboot and, obviously, abd disconnection. Running the exploit more than once results in a dead certainty of this reboot phenomenon on hotplug action (eg. wifi enable/disable, screen wake etc.):

[*] Android local root exploid (C) The Android Exploid Crew
[+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
[+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket
[+] sending add message ...
[*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless
[*] settings, plugin USB key etc.
[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/rootshell.
[*] GUI might hang/restart meanwhile so be patient.

If anybody else wanted to toy around, there's a nice package at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736271 which seems to contain, basically, the exact same modifications that I made (the hard way before noticing). As a note, I experienced no bricking or damage from playing around with this; merely inconvenient restarts.

I feel hopeful that this method should work, especially given that the exploit is "successfully" crashing the device.

Any ideas?
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
No ideas from as most of that went right over my head. I just wanted to thank you as a Wildfire user for the effort you're putting in. I'm sure others appreciate it as well. Keep up the good work dude!
[Wildfire Android Development] Gertt000:
I tried this too..

Got RW on the mount too, but the copying doesn't seem to be successful. However...

if (write(fd2, buf, r) != r)
die("[-] write");

Wouldn't this indicate that the copy was successful? Since the program doesn't die, nor prints the "[-] write" message.
[Wildfire Android Development] harmohn:
Not sure if you're already aware of or even if this'll help for you guys but Universal Androot one click root could show some promise?
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
Nope, doesn't work on the Wildfire. Goes through a few items ok. Then comes back with "Failed! ~~~No Foo Gu~~~" whatever that means.
[Wildfire Android Development] harmohn:
Oh that's a shame :( .....thanks for the info!
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
Well hopefully one of the more technically minded chaps on here will look at that and know what the problem is and how to fix it :)
