LED Flashlight?

Is there a version of hTorch for Android?

I tried a few "LED flashlight" apps from the market but none work.

Then again, perhaps the camera LED isn't even enabled yet if the camera isn't?

I use the LED "flashlight" more than the camera. :)

Maybe I just need to buy a keychain flashlight. LOL
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
afaik its optional to have a search button. On devices such as raph/diam we dont have the option. Some native android phone dont have the button either so we arent missing a core button.

We can use the flashlight. phhusson enabled it not too long ago however there isn't an apk that utilizes it atm. if you do a search in the 2.2 thread you'll find the answer and i'll probally request chamonix to implement the function into ledeffects if he can :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Damnit. So there's no way to autocomplete nicks in AndChat? That makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaad panda. Or pirate. Whichever.

That would be sweet! I definitely use this more than the camera HAHA!

Thanks

Thanks to all the xdandroid devs. Using xdandroid on my AT&T Fuze convinced me that my next phone would be an android phone. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) that time has come. The external speaker on my Fuze died last night so I now have a Captivate on order. (I was hoping to wait for a new HTC android phone on AT&T, but the Captivate seems to be the best available right now.)

Thanks again for all the time the devs have dedicated to making android work on the older WinMo phones. Without you I'd probably be getting a Tilt2 or Blackberry.

Kaiser phone

On the kaiser phone you can flash the kernel and NBH edit everything for the phone (including battery settings, OC, resolution). Wouldnt it be an idea to make such a tool for TP once we can flash our device?

Anyway, wont it be really easy to flash TP, since you would only have to change some stuff thats different for the kaiser for example.

Tell me your ideas about this :)

I installed Sirius XM last week, 7 day trial. Then I had some issues with my HTC EVO and by the time I got it fixed which required me to wipe the phone and reinstall Flipz Fresh Rom, the trial was over.

No big deal, I tossed in a new email thinking it would give me a new 7 day trial, wrong....

They know the 7 days is over. Even though I used a new email and everything.

My question is, HOW do they know? What info does Sirius collect that tells them MY phones already signed up for a 7 day trial?

Just kinda curious here.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] RasKarpas:
Hi,

After a long sequence of unfortunate events my GSM HERO is stuck

on the "HERO" screen forever (over 5 hours).

What I've done was:

Installed the 2.73.405.5 ROM from HTC.com (from XP OS)

Installed the first part OTA update successfully.

Downloaded the secong part and started installing

When it was done (Actually the whole bar was full) there was a hazard triangle screen, and since then the phone will not boot - stuck.

I can get in H Boot but i am clueless on what to do there if anything.

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:
Boot into fastboot (back + power)

Run the 2.73.405.5 RUU again

Download & install the first part

Download & install the second part

& you should be back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RasKarpas:
Shouldnt the phone be synched with Windows to run the RUU?

It doesnt work, can you elaborate a bit more ?

Home+Power brings me to a hazard triangle screen.

pressing Home+Power again from that screen brings me to system recovery:

Reboot system

apply update.zip from sdcard

factory reset.

At that state, connecting the phone to a computer and running RUU doesnt work :(

Hold your horses :)

Realized what boot into fast boot means, managed to run the RUU.

As i am currently during the process, cross your fingers for me.

There's one question however, why did this happen, and why shouldn't it happen again, right now ?

UPDATE: burned the 2.73.405.5 ver with no issues at all, downloaded FOTA updates and tried to install them.

The second update fails in the same way - right at the end, the hazard triangle appears and the phone hangs.

What's the cause of this?

I gave up and burned VillainROm 12

did you get an exclamation mark in a triangle and android standing next to it? This is what I got as well. Not sure what happened, had to restart the phone and it is back to 2.1, it was originally in ER27.

I just restarted the phone and did a *#*#CHECKIN#*#* to force the download again and download, now its FRF91

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MLBZ521:
Maybe, but while I haven't gotten much interest over here, I have gotten over $200 in pledges from other sites. If you don't feel confortable, that's fine, make a pledge, if you do, great.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lozdog:
Hi, I'm kinda new to this stuff, but I really want to upgrade my phone because I find that the stock ROM I got with the phone just isn't good enough.

I've been trying to load a new ROM for a couple of days now, but I just can't seem to finish the process.

My Phone:

HTC Magic

Android 1.5

running recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img

32A

Attempting to install CyanogenMod 5.0.8

Now, here are the steps I've performed:

1. Flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img using flashrec.apk

2. Booted phone in recovery mode

3. Did nandroid backup

4. wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik-cache

5. loaded ROM from sdcard update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip

When that finished installing on my phone successfully, I rebooted my phone, and then my phone just gets stuck on the "htc magic" logo.

I've performed suggested actions, such as wiping again and then loading the ROM again, tried loading different ROMs, but always get the same problem. I even tried using the clockwork recovery image instead of the sapphire v1.6.2.

What could possibly be the cause? How can I fix it? Am I just a massive noob and using the wrong ROMs?

It's getting really annoying now, I'm almost ready to give up and just factory reset back to stock rom *sigh*
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Cyanogen Mod is for 32B devices. Go to the download page, you'll find the kernel for 32A in a zip. I believe all you need to do is flash it from recovery and it should boot :)

If that doesn't work, repeat your steps then flash (wipe, flash CM, flash kernel).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lozdog:
Thanks for the quick reply!

errm...what's a kernel? lol (sorry for being such a noob)

And which download page should I find the kernel for 32A in a zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tnpapadakos:
did you try reading the cyano-wiki? or the original post in the cm thread?

really, if you didnt, take some time and read that stuff, even if some of it makes no sense, just read through it, then take a 5 minute break, and look through it again, all the info you need is there

if you did, read it again, cause i needed to read through it several times to get it, the instructions often assume we know stuff we dont know

otherwise, i would start over fresh, i mean from ground up, may be quicker than 1) trying to figure out whats wrong, and 2)trying to figure out how to fix whats wrong

Anybody have any great tips or pitfalls for using Tilt2 while traveling? I will be in France and Portugal for 3 weeks and will need to call the states a bit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
BEFORE you travel, make sure you call ATT (800-335-4685) and activate

International Roaming

. NOT International Long Distance, which is only for calling from US to other countries (this is a very common mistake). International Roaming is NOT activated by default, so you must do this. But as long as you activate it, you should be fine.

Keep the number for ATT International Support (+1-916-843-4685) handy in case you have trouble (800 numbers don't work abroad). Even if you get no service on your Tilt, you can call the number from your hotel phone, and the ATT rep will call you back right away so you don't get big $$$ charged on your hotel phone. Its possible even if you activate international roaming that you will not have service due to issues on ATT's end, the system is far from foolproof. This happened to me the first time I tried to use my ATT phone in Japan. But usually a 5-minute call to ATT will get you fixed up. This was a one time occurance, never happened to me again on multiple subsequent trips to Japan.

Call from France and Portugal will be fairly pricey, $1.29 to $1.99/min (see below). You can activate World Traveller, which is $4.99/month, and discounts the rate to $0.99 and $1.29/min, and you can add/delete this feature whenever you want, so you can just activate if for the month you are travelling. Texts are $0.50 each to send (free to receive), which is a great way to communicate while travelling.

http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/international-roaming.jsp?wtSlotClick=1-0021N8-0-1&WT.svl=calltoaction

You will get charged the per minute rate whether you are sending or receiving the call. People calling from Europe to your phone will be charged as if making a long distance call to the US. People in the US will be charged as they normally would if you were in the US.

Another option if to SIM unlock your phone and use a local prepaid SIM card. Its often cheaper this way, but you will not have the same phone number. If you call ATT and tell them you are travelling abroad and want the unlock code, they will usually give it to you.

Most of what you need to know about international roaming is summarized on this thread:

http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/International-Service/Personal-Experience-s-from-Customer-and-Community-Member-Updated/td-p/1440200

Also be aware that while you are abroad, you phone will act as if you were calling from a European cell phone, in terms of dial pattern. Calling to a number in France will be the same as if dialing from a France landline. Calling the US will require you to dial as if you were calling from a Europe phone number to the US. Dialing patterns can be determined at the site below. Also, the "+" key is your friend (see #4 on the webpage I linked directly above).

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/dialing.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jimmyjjohn:
European prices can vary quite a bit from country to country, and even within a country. My recommendation would be to spend less time in the expensive cities, and more time in some of the cheaper towns and countries. A couple of months on the beach in Portugal would be pretty awesome.

I'm assuming you're from the US? Have you considered a year in each place? You can get flights for $700, which I assume is a drop in the bucket to what you'll spend over the course of 2 years.

Thanks

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] daveb673:
Redpoint lists some good advice. I spent two weeks in Europe about 3 years ago, and had international roaming enabled on my Tilt (HTC 8925). It worked fine; came in handy when I ended up missing some flights due to delays. But the rates are certainly higher. I ended up with a phone bill about double normal, so be mindful of how much calling you do. You might enable international texts; I got a pkg of 50 I think when I went to Asia, which was cheaper than phone calls...
