Ok so the missus has a BB bold 9700, when she sends a txt message she usually puts some kinda daft smiley face and all i get is :p etc is there something i can do so i can receive the faces ???
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
anyone BUMP* :)
[HD2 General] abmantis:
From what I understand you want to receive image smiley instead of text right?

In the SMS it is always text... what some phones do is showing you a graphic smile instead of the text... the HTC Messaging Client does not do that...

You can try another messaging application...

How to display location info in HTC Touch Pro2

i am having ATT version of HTC Touch pro 2.

I need to display the tower info in my mobile.

For example, in my previous mobile (Sony Ericsson)there was a option where you can display the physical location of tower in the mobile screen.

How do we do that in HTC ???
[General Questions and Answers] Agent Zach:
Do you have TouchFlo 3D or Sense?
[General Questions and Answers] indianinworld:
TouchFlo 3D (Iam using the default ATT theme that comes up with the mobile).

No tweeks / modifications to ROM yet.

It is in the original hardware configuration with few software additions :).

Please advise accordingly !!!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gladiusdei:
I hope this isn't too much of a newbie question. I've been looking around for an answer and haven't found one so far, so I figured I'd go ahead and ask.

Is it possible to, instead of say USB tethering my phone, make my Tilt 2 into a wi-fi hub? I seem to recall I could do it with my (modded) Fuze, but I don't have the details as my fuze died a lonely death on an Indiana highway somewhere.

I've come into some gadgets that are wi-fi enabled recently, and I'd love to just have them talk to the net via my tilt while I'm out.

I'm currently running a stock rom. (Bloatware included, bleh.)

Thanks!

Good morning.

I upgraded to 2.03 my rooted legend thinking I won't loose the recovery.

Now I cannot install any rom.

I know there are in shippedroms the originals ROMS to be installed when you have to send your Legend to HTC if it is broken or if fails.

My question is if I can install the old original rom, 1.23 or 1.31, usign my goldcard, and then root my legend again.

Best regards.
[Legend Android Development] MyKEcz:
Hi, I think that is impossible to downgrade without root. It works on 1.31.x. You must wait for new root release... For next time it's better use rooted rom eg. Stock Legend: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698421

I had 1.31 rooter, and I installed 2.03 from HTC.

It's my first Android, I thought I would lose the root, but not the recovery.

It's my fault, and I have learned this lesson.

Hello,

Is it possible to change DNS settings when connecting over 3G?

I do not mean the wireless settings.

In Windows Mobile it was possible to set DNS servers in the advanced menu of connections.

Now I can't seem to find it anywhere in HTC Desire (Android).

We are connecting our mobiles to a private APN with private DNS servers.

Morning all

I have a bit of a complex question (for me anyways).

When managing the connection settings I need to specify settings such as apn username and password etc. (its for a project). This is fine but i would like my rom to remember these settings. Does anyone know where i would put this information so that it would be burned into the image?

I thought maybe the initflashfile.dat but not sure what format it would take.

I use Chucky for my rom.

Hi,

Today I found this document on the german website www.heise.de

This document is a threat analysis of the Android Market.

On page 9 is an overview how many apps have which permissions and there are 9 apps that can brick your phone!!

Does anybody know such an app which can brick the phone?
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
You should read this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/cnet-retracts-article-on-android-app-privacy-threat/1987 and realize its all a scam to get people to buy an iphone.
[Nexus One General] P00r:
They where listing one of the option as brick, anybody know if there's such option. and what it does, I doubt it would brick the phone in the real meaning...

either way anything that has a direct connection to the internet and access to your record is a potential risk, it is goog to be aware of this but pointing Android because it list such option is quite ridiculous since other OS doesn't even warn you about the fact that program can read your data...
[Nexus One General] klausdieter79:
Link: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html

android.permission.BRICK

Required to be able to disable the device (very dangerous!).
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Good lord, WIPE I could see.... BRICK!?
[Nexus One General] rohandhruva:
I think it's there in the SDK only for testing on the emulator. I'm quite sure none of the actual hardware devices would support it.. or at least I hope not ;)
[Nexus One General] bohlool:
I think it should be there, at least I have one use for it, an application to remotely lock your phone (or wipe critical information) in case of stole or lost phone. Definitely user should confirm this permission and should only do that if they completely trust the author.
[Nexus One General] rohandhruva:
Remote locking is different from bricking. It makes no sense to "remotely brick" a stolen device, because then, even if you do get it back, it's useless.
[Nexus One General] luffyz:
But when you install the app, it has to display the permission

This application has access to the following:

Brick your phone
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
I'm sure there's some kind of app that can potentially brick your phone. No doubt you have to be rooted for it to have access to that ability. Clockwork ROM manager could potentially brick you're phone if you do something stupid (battery pull).

Read the permissions. Don't install what seems suspect. If the app tries to do something it doesn't have permission to do, the OS won't allow it. It's not like another app store where you have to rely on a fallible person to safeguard you.

Oh, and don't freak out when that free game you're looking at asks for internet access and your GPS location. It needs that info to serve you ads so it stays free. Don't be paranoid, nobody really cares about you, never mind enough to stalk you.
[Nexus One General] rohandhruva:
The Clockwork ROM Manager application itself can't brick the phone - or at least it won't advertise that it can. The bricking is caused if the flashing process is interrupted, which is (strictly speaking) outside the purview of the app.

Also, what the OP found is just an ability to advertise to the user that installing this app can brick the phone. There is no mechanism by which an apk, running inside the dalvik jvm sandbox, can cause irrevocable hardware damage to the phone - at least none has been found yet.

Your last paragraph about games staying free and paranoia is just off-topic.
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
1) You're Splitting hairs. We don't know what criteria the company that produced this study was using. Given that the whole thing was a springboard for advertising the need for their product, they're probably being more loose with the facts than you or I would. I used Clockwork as an example of how they might be interpreting the market.

2) I wasn't arguing against you. I was using your post to segue into my own. So do not take anything I said as something against your position. I, in fact, agree with your statement. I highly doubt a stock Android handset will allow you permission to brick it. I even doubt there is a root-only app that will purposefully brick your phone. I think SMobile Systems is borderline LYING to sell their unneeded product.

XDA attracts a lot more than experts, many of which are not even vaguely familiar with Android permissions are, what app services might need them, nevermind the economics of the Android market. As such, given that I had in the previous sentence advised people to be critical of the permissions that apps request (I don't think most people look at them closely enough), I went the other way and told them not to be so careful as to enter the realm of paranoia. It's balanced advice and is therefore relevant to the topic.

Hopefully, this clears up any confusion. Cheers and good night...err morning, whatever you call 4AM.
[Nexus One General] rohandhruva:
ATnTdude, I don't mean to be brandishing swords or arguing.. Sorry if it seemed that way :) I just realised that the OP started this topic out of that stupid SMobile article. Had I read that before, I wouldn't have 'split hairs'! My bad :-/
[Nexus One General] martin0285:

[Nexus One General] P00r:
@klausdieter79 Thanks for the link

I also hope it is not included in the regular phone library, I can easilly imagine someone granting this by mistake

Let's wait for someone to upload a one button app named accelerate and the only permission requested will be brick...
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
I'm pretty much 100% certain you would have to have a rooted ROM for that to work...in which case, you probably know better than to install an app that requests permission to brick your phone ;)
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
I figured as much. It's all good. :D
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
OT, but I would be a little pissed if a developer was wasting my battery with GPS just to serve up targeted ads. There's no reason they couldn't use the much more battery efficient network location for that.

[EVO 4G General] KJThaDon:
There has been a few times I've ran into issues with drivers not being compatible with Windows 7 x64 so I am going to show you a way to get them working by running a virtual machine with windows xp x32 installed.

#1. Here you can download a free Virtual machine.

http://hotfile.com/dl/45019228/154c711/VMware-player-3.1.0-261024.exe.html

here is the same download link from their website, which will require registration and verification.

https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=player&cmp=EMC-PlayerEvalActivation&li=license

#2. You will need to either have an ISO of Windows XP or an installation disk for this to work.

#3. Install VMWare Player and follow the instructions, it is very simple.

#4. Once your virtual machine is open, it should install VMWare tools. This will give you access to dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, and various other functions from your host computer to the virtual. You now should copy all necessary files and apllications you will need to complete whatever modification it is you are going to do.

#5. Install HTC Sync on the virtual machine. Link: http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC EVO (Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe

#6. You can easily switch your device from syncing to your host computer to your virtual by right clicking the icon that shows your phone. These icons are located on the bottom right corner of the virtual machine. Picture below.

One of the issues I have encountered so far is when trying to run CDMA Workshop on the virtual machine it will not open. It will give you the error "Sorry, this application cannot run under a virtual machine".

I have found a workaround for this.

Go to the folder on your host computer:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Professional

Open your Windows XP Professional.vmx in notepad. This is the VMware virtual machine configuration file. Go to the bottom of the file on a new line each add these lines of code

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
disable_acceleration = "TRUE"

This will stop CDMA Workshop from thinking it's being run on a virtual machine :) and should work for other programs as well.
[EVO 4G General] DSwarP:
May I ask you what exactly you are having trouble with with W7x64? I was able to get ADB up and running, root my phone, and check my MSL with CDMA workshop within W7x64. Just had to find the right drivers online, but it didn't take too long.

it seems to work fine on my the xp here at work. which drivers are you both using? i know it's not that technical. i can't develop for hack it any electronics but i can follow instructions and have hacked the psp, unlocked the tp2 and this phone among many, but i cannot understand how some were saying they've been successful and i'm in the same boat with many others who can't seem to get it to work on a 64b win7.
[EVO 4G General] Berner:
I'll pull my own quote from that thread:

"The 64 bit drivers will not be recognized or installed by the Windows 7 automatically. You must force the installation of the drivers by choosing the "Browse" option then "Let Me Pick" option then the "Have Disk" option."
[EVO 4G General] crackerstyle:
Weird. I run Win 7 Pro x64 at home, and got the copy of HTC Sync that was on my Evo's SD card to install on it with no issues. Run the version of adb-windows from toast's evo recovery zip file from it too.
[EVO 4G General] Berner:
Its not the adb drivers that are a problem. Its the diag drivers that won't install automatically.
[EVO 4G General] crackerstyle:
My bad, I saw him talking about installing HTC Sync on the virtual XP.
[EVO 4G General] techwerkz:
For HTC Diag Drivers see my article in my sig. I have changed the Sprint banner with QPST with no problems using my diag drivers on Win7 x64. I also included 32 bit drivers.

[EVO 4G General] martouf13:
Works fine for me on windows7 x64 as well... You just have to point windows to the exact .inf driver file and force it to install. No need to install an entire virtual machine..
[EVO 4G General] billobob:
The evo always worked fine for me on win7 x64 but its terribly inconsistent with recognizing android phones and installing drivers (moment and vogue were a nightmare) even pointing to them directly. For whatever reason solutions for some definitely dont work for everyone

For some reason Win7 64 is picky about how the drivers get installed. When I followed this guide everything worked fine.

After following the instructions and running CDMA WS 3.6 in VMWare (WinXP Pro) I'm being told my current license key for CDMA WS is locked to a different machine or machine configuration, which I guess isn't terribly surprising.

I am not going to buy another license... so is there any way to set up the VMWare host machine to make CDMA WS think it's running on the same machine to which it's been locked (which is my host machine)?

The only other thing that would solve my problem would be 64-bit diag drivers for a Treo Pro and a Palm Centro.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaWrona:
Hi, I bought my awesome, gorgeous, magnificent, incredible Desire :D in Poland, it is sim free. Next week I am flying to NY and then going by car to Miami and then to the Bahamas.

I tried to google some info about US carriers' frequencies but had no luck, on different forums I found contradictory info. Maybe some of you have answers for me...

I know my Desire GSM services will work in the USA, but how about data? 3G, HSPA, EDGE? If yes, which carriers should I choose for best coverage?

Thank you, I'll go back to licking my device now. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4r1m:
EDGE is GSM based so you will get it with any US GSM carrier and as far as 3G and HSPA it will only work with T Mobile.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
There are no Desires that currently work on US T-Mobile. An A8183 from Australia will work on AT&T, but if you bought your device in Poland it is almost certainly an A8181.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaWrona:
Contradictory info again... Yes it is A8181, so only GSM and EDGE? :( Can anyone confirm that for sure?

How fast is EDGE?

Are there any prepaid sim cards in the US with unlimited data?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
EDGE isn't quick - the maximum speed is around 380kbps, and that is theoretical. Actual rates will be much lower - in the region of 80 to 120 kbps.

I'm not aware of any decent prepaid deals with data, though I've been keeping my eye on this company, which offer a no-contract solution that looks reasonable. Since they are using GSM phones, they must be using either AT&Ts or TMO's network.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaWrona:
Let me get this straight, you're talking about 3G and HSPA data here? I will be able to make calls and use EDGE with any carrier right?

How about Verizon? I believe they use some different type of network.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes I am talking about 3G etc. You will be able to make calls with an *GSM* network.

Yes, Verizon and Sprint are CDMA networks, not GSM. Your phone will never work with either of these.

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaWrona:
Thank you very much Dave.
