[Galaxy S I9000 General] King Canute:
Installing this app is the biggest mistake I've ever done. After installing it I thought I had to restart the phone, but when I restarted it all that came up after the Galaxy S logo was, Phone locked, and I can move the locked thing around on the screen like I'm trying to unlock it, but the locked thing comes back after a few sec.

I've tried the reset function, by holding volume down, press and relase power button, but that doesn't work with my phone, it just start up like it should with the Galaxy S logo and the it says locked.

Anyone know another way to reset the phone?

I can't enter anything on the phone, so using #10349 etc doesn't work.

Damn I wish I didn't install it.

Pressing power button and the middle button next to the touch buttons activate something, saying... Downloading, don't turn of target. But nothing ever happens, the phone just stays like that forever.

Now some tips would be nice...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Plug the phone King, then open CMD and use ADB command: adb reboot recovery

then you'll be able to wipe after it reboots.

I hope you know how to use ADB =(

if you don't then you should download Android SDK (newest one) and install it somewhere (I think you unzip it somewhere lol), I suggest following a guide (that's what I did)... I know there are extra steps also that I forgot, sorry, it's not the funnest thing :/

Hi all,

Anyone able to get googlemaps my location to work on an S521?

With win 6.5 official rom the cell-id is wrong (by couple of hundred miles) - sure that it worked with the win 6.1 roms?

I have never got it working in Canada so I'm guessing it's carrier related and in your case 100% carrier related as it's suppose to use A-GPS, no?

Does not seem like they have a clue what rooting is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Why? They have explained their point of view well and actually they're right. They can't be responsible for issues on rooted devices, because these issues may be caused by system customizations done by 3rd party. This is absolutely logical.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
You can root your phone without actually changing the original OS. They're talking about not supporting various custom firmware, which is different from rooting.

Although with Rooting, you can make core changes that could effect functionality... But like any OS, I don't know if it really matters. I've cooked all of my Windows OS's on a range of devices and still always got warranty exchanges if needed. Just flash a stock firmware and call it a day.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Yeah, but you don't root to not change anything, right? And they won't compare md5 of every file to see, whether you have changed somethin' or not. They don't give root to people just to be sure, that you have exactly what they have installed to you. If you have rooted, then they lose this sureness.

Yeah, I think it would be nice if they would just erase all your data and install stock system. Then they would not waste too much of their time, but would be helpful.

Ahh and there is one more thing: when you flash roms, you risk hardware failure, especially if you aren't careful. It would not make any sense, if they would be responsible for such situation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Doward:
Rogers clearly does not have a clue what rooting is - what Rogers has described is installing a custom rom.

Rooting is not the same act as installing a custom rom - it's just giving yourself root access in the operating system.

Granted, that increases the amount of power the user has over the operating system - and honestly, I prefer that rooting be a little harder to do than just a one-click setup.

My reasoning behind that is simple - with great power, comes great responsibility.

Unfortunately, responsibility is a foreign concept to most consumers, especially when in over their heads trying to alter anything 'behind the scenes'.

That said, I can see why service providers would be disinclined to deal with the many problems that could arise due to root access.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Szadzik:
As pointed out below Rogers explained using custom ROMs and not rooting. I have root and have not installed a custom ROM. I installed an overclocking app instead - does this mean my warranty has not been voided? According to Rogers it would not be.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] silvertag:
This part made me laugh

Oh yes we've seen that with the whole E911 patch fiasco that ensued with the "verified" rom from Rogers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
As I said:

You can't have a gun without a license even if you don't use it, but just like to have it. No one will waste his time to check, what you actually do with this gun.

And this a reason, why such point of view *is some kind of standard* in software world. We support users of our software, but if you modified something in it, then we won't even look into your problem - go and fix it by yourself, have luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CWKJ:
Even with custom rom, if flashing back the original rom can still prove that same feature still fails, the warranty is not considered void, it could be a hardware problem.

Some providers do not know what they are selling and what they are providing.

Nomal people use the mass on top to think and the gap on top to speak, but unfortunately, some chooses to use the mass at the "bottom" to "think" and the gap "below" to "talk". :D
[HD2 General] SeaViper:
When I am playing music using HTC's sense music player, if I press the end call button to lock the phone, the music stops. This problem has only started happening last night, before it was working fine. The only new programme I have installed is SPB Travellers Demo. Any suggestions to fix this?

PS: if I manually lock the phone, it keeps playing.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
It shouldnt happen if your using headphones, if your listening through the speaker then you just have to let the screen turn off on its own, just set it to time out after 30 secs........ its annoying i know.....

havent noticed a fix for this anywhere though.........

I havent really looked for one though to be honest, there probably is one.......
[HD2 General] SeaViper:
Thanks but I'm sure it used to work before ...
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Now that you mention it I only noticed this recently and like you I dont remember it having happened before but because I rarely listen through the speaker I just thought I was imagining things and it had always done that...........

:confused::confused:

Now I'm really confused........
[HD2 General] SeaViper:
I know, does anyone know what might have caused this problem or any solutions?
[HD2 General] kupz:
sorry i dont know what causes this but it happens when i use headphones sometimes to - i find if i press the end call button straight after pressing play it stops but if you let it play for a few seconds then press it its ok?

Might be obvious but have you installed the official music stability update?
[HD2 General] SeaViper:
Yep, as I say, it appeared to be working fine until last night. The only programme I have recently installed is SPB Travellers Demo.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerox:
Hello there Community,

I have been reading alot of these forums and on the web.

Atm using Energy 26june 23569 with 2.10.50.28_2 (best for me).

Now i want to convert some VOB (Dvd) movies/files to the best suitable extention to play fullscreen on the HD2 (i can for example make .wmv with moviemaker).

The problem is, when i convert a file of 100MB to MP4 642*480 i CAN watch them fullscreen in the default CAMvidplayer (dunno how its named), without any problem .. but when i code a vid to 1.5gb mp4, it hangs on video, and only plays sound.

Hope someone can help me with this and give me a few good instructions/links to do so.

Dont know if this topic is in the right forum though, sorry if it isnt.

Thanks!

I always split fulllenght movies into 2 parts, cause file above 1.5g

tend to have hiccups every 5-10min (5sec freeze).

But i never have a full picture freeze.

What bitrate are you using?

What codec are you using?

I use h264 codec around 1600kb.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacked Out:
Get your hands on a program called Coreplayer.

And as for converting, try to convert to 800 by 480 as that is the devices resolution. Anything below will become choppy, above isn't bad but it may cause stuttering during playback.

I've sucessfully converted several videos and full length movies to mp4 to play on my hd2 using VLC, I noticed though it's important to make sure to select a maximum resolution of 720p. Still looks good on the screen, plays full screen and no stutters or freezes. Hope that helps.

I use "Any video Converter", for all my devices, here are a few reasons why I like it...

It's really easy to trim off the beginning and the ending of videos in the apps built in player to make the videos shorter and smaller.

Remember's my custom settings

Choose my Frame Rate, Video Bitrate, Video Framerate.

Many settings with the audio choices.

Can Place multiple files to convert one after the other.

It's free and they keep updating it regularly.

Video Conversion

I used "Format Factory" to convert some AVIs for the HD2. Not only do they play now they play in HTC's video player just like Transformers. Different settings and a few different resolutions and they all seem to play just fine...

"Format Factory" is free and a small download.

Hi, I'm using Cyanogen 5.0.8 on a N1 phone.

Is there any way to protect app (not a pre-install app like Gmail!) from being Uninstall/delete?

I mean the app won't uninstall the "simple way", like from Settings - Applications, and only through terminal/ADB command/root explorer.

Thank you very much!

Anybody? It's a pretty usefull question.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mercianary:
I think you can just push the APK to /system/app

You can't uninstall because it is read only by deafult.

I've never done it so I'm not sure, try it.

Hi!

I have the strangest question:p

My phone is reaaallly slow, so I figured I'd do a hard reset and reinstall everything.

My question is, what should I do:p

Basically I just want the latest version of windows mobile and HD2 updates. To get it really up to date:p

So can you give me any recommendations on what exactly I should update?

Thanks:)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
The easiest way is probably to flash a custom rom..... one of the newer ones.

Should contain all the freshest updatey goodness and give the speed your looking for.......
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
Best thing to do is work out which apps you liked and what worked and do a hard reset back to factory spec and only install the apps you like...

After getting the phone most of us install every app that comes along, settling for a few that are essential... Hard resetting and fresh installs will help greatly...

Only go a custom rom if you really know what you are doing and only if you are dedicated to try several to find one that suits you...
[HD2 General] pietme:
I know:) I used to do so with my old telephone (TYTN II), but recently I spoke with a friend of mine (he has a HD2 too). He's really into computers etc, and he has the latest roms and everything. He told me that his phone is A LOT faster now.

The only thing is: I have no idea where to start. Just download the latest windows mobile? or should I download the latest HTC HD2 rom? Or both? In what order? Any other updates?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I guess i'm lucky then. i settled on the first one i tried but i did have a very lenghtly read of the forums before i picked one to install ;)

Before i went down the custom rom route i did modify a stock 1.66 rom so i can make a comparison here between as shipped stock, modded stock and custom 6.5.5. I can tell you that 6.5.5 is miles better, faster and if you get a custom rom with a newer version of sense that's even better.

Flashing custom roms has been covered so many times many people are bored of replying but i'll see what i can do in one post.

First you need a copy of HSPL3. Search for it, it will turn up. Don't ask how to install it. All you need to do is run the exe in the file you download.

Then you have a choice. You can either install and updated radio rom (will possibly improve signal and battery life but to find the best one for you and your area may take a couple of flashes and some testing) or just skip straight to the main event. I recommend that all new rom flashers use Energy 23569 standard sense 2.5 because it's fast, pretty lightweight and very close to a HTC stock rom in looks which makes it pretty easy to use. To install follow the instructions in the first couple of posts of the energy rom thread.

I also recommend that you have a look at leocpuspeed V4 and chainfire's 3D driver patch v2 (search for those). Once configured they will greatly improve the performance of the device running any rom you install and it's well worth it.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
if you dont wanna go custom rom, i guess you could check see if you have all the latest updates from the HTC site, take it from there, only install apps to the device that need to be on the device such as tweaking apps and install everything else on the sd card, and get your self clean ram or bsb ram sweeper, will reclaim the ram for you from the programs you thought you may have closed but didnt really close.

I got a server with unlimited bandwidth and Storage so i thought i could start hosting all custom ROMs.

Just wanted to know what you all would think about it?

All ROMs at one location without the need for Rapidshare and such.

Upload account for developers and such.

UPDATE!

ROMn****.info will be the address

Working on design and functionality now, help is welcome :)

Developers send me a pm for ftp account

UPDATE Again! :)

Its up and running, beta design comeing up soon and developers starting to get accounts.

If you are a developer and interested, send me a pm

Bump/Update!
[Desire General] abc27:
Not to put a damper on your parade but...

I don't think you'll be able to pull off a ROM hosting site on shared hosting. It's impossible.

Take me for example, I started a ROM hosting and indexing service about two weeks ago and it lasted three days before my costs skyrocketed and I was forced to close it down.

It took three weeks of development and four servers all with 2Gb combined uplink speed and in the end I paid out over €100 in three days because of the sheer popularity of the site.

Compare that with a shared hosting package on dreamhost and you'll see that bandwidth costs are prohibitively high to be usable. Dreamhost may advertise unlimited space and bandwidth but that is an utter lie. Ever hear of a fair usage policy?
[Desire General] l1nuxfre4k:
ofc i heard of it, same thing with mobile broadband...

Already double checked with my hosting.

AND its not shared hosting..

who sad it was?
[Desire General] abc27:
A VPS, A Dedicated server... In the end it's on what it's hosted on that matters the most.

Unless your paying for an unmetered port your going to be charged quite a bit for the bandwidth no matter what they say about "unlimited bandwidth". Just a heads up.
[Desire General] jayshah:
The simple fact you said unlimited bandwidth and storage means you don't have a dedicated server. If you think you have a dedicated server with unlimited hard drives, then this conversation ends here.

Therefore, by conclusion, abc27 is correct as you are sharing resources with someone else and will bottleneck the system (shared/reseller/VPS/VDS/cloud) or face severe throttling yourself.

Edit: DreamHost? Good luck! I genuinely hope it works out for you, but please please take offsite backups as soon as it goes live. If we're right, it won't be around for long.
[Desire General] l1nuxfre4k:
No need to worry about that :)

I will always keep a backup and i got a Dedicated server comeing up within the next month.

and the current server will stay up.

[Desire General] TheAshMan:
Gotta agree with most guys with the comments regarding bandwidth and storage. At the end of the day there's no such thing. Anyone who offers it will have some form of Fair Use Policy, normally stating that if they consider your use of the system resources excessive then your account can be terminated.

Best of luck, and good effort trying to support the dev community - I'll commend you for that. Just try not to sound so offensive to people that are only trying to help or posting based on past experience. They aren't trying to shoot you down, they're only discussing their views and opinions.

Again, good luck and thanks for supporting the devs.
[Desire General] DeeBG:
Actually in the UK you can get a pretty good price on unmetered bandwidth (I've seen 1gbit/sec dedicated servers for around $300 US/month... there is no way you could get that kind of deal here in the US, esp. not even on Cogent's network [they seem to be the cheapest, and for a reason]) but it's never a good idea to advertise as having access to unlimited ANYTHING when it comes to computers, esp. hosting as there is always a finite limit.

Also if you are indeed using a regular/shared Dreamhost account, your site will not stay active if the downloads become popular. They specifically state in their TOS that their hosting is not meant for "file hosting". I used them for a couple of years a while back, not the best but I have heard they have since improved in terms of uptime, over-crowding, etc. I would still never go back to them and hope for this site to suceed that you aren't using them as well (I don't know if they ever added phone support for regular/shared users, but if not that is a bad sign that they don't have the correct resources - even though their web support was decent).

Also you may want to consider teaming up with this user, who is planning on launching a similar service for developers. <= Erm, I take that back... the thread has vanished all of the sudden... I don't know if is a database error or not but I will edit this post if the thread I was referring to comes back online.
[Desire General] l1nuxfre4k:
You are true in what you are writing, (Im running VPS )
