The actual sense widgets would require heavy hacking to get working, if it is even possible. No one has shown any intrest in doing so.

Fancy Widget has been removed from the marked by HTC's request (because they meant it was a ripoff from their work.) :(

Still, i have attached the .apk for it. :)

As for the music widget, there isn't anyone that looks like HTC's that i have found yet.. :rolleyes: But you could try out MixIng :D

Hi gurus,

I have been using Cupcake edition LG EVE ( GW620) for quite a time in India. The GPS Works perfectly in India using Google maps or RMAPS..

However ever since I have come to US, it is not working, it just keeps on searching for Satellite.

I tried GPS TEST software, it shows 5-6 satelite but all are gray.

which means the satellites are non position based.

All the seven are non position based. it shows speed altitude etc.

I even tried reinstalling RMAPS but no success.

Any clues on this, One more point im not using any cell service as im using another phone, so the cell network is not used. I tried Airplane mode as well as normal mode...

Any clues?

I noticed that whenever I turn on my wifi at home, the phone automatically disconnects my 4G, even if my 4G widget is turned on. As soon as I turn off my home wifi, the phone will then re-connect to Sprint's wimax network.

Is it ok to leave the 4G widget on while I am at home and have the status of 4G show as disconnected or will doing this drain my battery faster. Right now, I manually turn on 4G and turn off wifi, every time I exit my home and then do the opposite when I return home

Any thoughts?

hi guys

i asked this question alot but i couldn't find the answer

How can i have 2 WM operation system at the same time

for Example when i turn the phone on, it ask me to choose which WM do u like to boot? WM 6.1 or 6.5?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mr.zeus:
Our friend says u can have Andriod & WM but not 2WM at the same time

i replied him if u can boot Andriod u can boot WM stead of it

but we should find a way to have 2 WM then think about this things
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] d-signet:
There isn't much point.

WM needs to run from the internal memory (android has been changed to run from SD card, but it has been worth the time (many months) it took to get that working because otherwise we can't do any android-y things or run android apps), so 2 versions of WM on the same ROM memory would use MORE than ALL available memory on your device.

Both 6.1 and 6.5 will run the same software (CABs etc) , so the ONLY advantage would be that 6.1 is a bit faster....which it WOUDLN'T be if you had 6.5 on the same ROM

Why did you want to do it? If 6.5 is too slow or buggy for you, just stick with 6.1 and run all the same programs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mr.zeus:
i finally understand

every rom has a spl & os for itself

if we want to have 2WM we needs 2Bootloder then we need 2Boards (2Motherboard)

so we can't do this

it was an intresting thing if we could
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Don-Maco:
You dont need 6.1 if you already have 6.5 :cool:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapbet:
I'm fairly new to Android as well as Linux, but I was curious about how the PC36IMG.zip and nandroid backups relate to each other. I'm planning to flash the latest rooted stock PC36IMG.zip (1.47.651.1) and then a nandroid backup of what I'm currently using which are a combination of ROMs and patches with baseband 2.05.00.06.10 and 1.47.651.1, will this cause compatibility issues?

At a higher level, what does a PC36IMG.zip write and what does a nandroid backup write?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
The PC36IMG.zip is actually a special ROM, the first which allows su permission, and the second which allows full NAND unlock.

The Nandroid is really just a way to backup and restore the images that are on your phone when you perform the operation.

The PC36IMG.zip is used to unlock, and custom ROMs available in the dev section are used after getting full root to the phone.

so basically, before you flash anything, you do a nandroid backup incase something messes up. Then you use the PC36IMG images to obtain root, then you go to the dev section and pick a custom rom and flash it

And to answer you question, doing a nandroid restore after you flash something (I think) is pointless because it replaces everything on the partitions (except possibly the radios but I am not sure)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .mak:
In Sense builds, there are plain-text files that contain the defaults for things like ringtones, input device(s), wallpaper, MMS, etc. In Vanilla builds, where does one find these defaults?

I've scoured through a few Vanilla builds and can't seem to locate anything.. do the defaults reside in an apk, or multiple apks?

I've been looking online for earplugs with controls to answer calls and to skip tracks in the music player. Most of the ones I've been have only been for the iPhone or iPod, does anyone know if these will work?

For example these: hxxp://sg.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=437&subcategory=442&product=17989 (link broken because I'm a new member, replace the xx's)

Anyone have any suggestions, recommendations or experiences to share?

Griffin's Headphone Control Adapter.

My friend has a N1 and says they work.
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Just got one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-Sma...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278934550&sr=8-1

It's surprisingly quite small and compact, button and mic are good quality. I have headphones which came with a short cord + extension (Denon AH-C751), so using this makes the cord length just right.

The smarttalk got a lot of bad reviews because the edges of the plastic parts would damage the cable over time, but the version I got has rubber sheaths where the cable connects with the plastic - it seems Griffin listened to feedback on that one. Still, I can't vouch for the reliability, but so far so good.

[Desire Accessories] Biornus:
Not op, but I have an issue with them.

The mic is already screwed up and one of the casings is about to fall apart.

I am willing to spend around 80 € on a pair of headphones with controls plus a microphone. Like OP said most of the ones available are for the iPhone but I heard somewhere with some application installed you could use those for an Android powered phone as well?

The Griffon solution is really not that sexy, I would love a complete solution instead.
[Desire Accessories] djtosh:
so just to get this right you use this griffin adapter with your htc desire to:

1 - answer calls

2 - hands free and speak through microfone

3 - cycle through music tracks and pause music
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
I read somewhere else that iPhone headphones with built in controls work fine on the Desire.

As I already own a pair of Klipsch S4 cans which are fantastic I looked on eBay for an iPhone adaptor that plugs inline with the headphones. Cost less than a fiver delivered.

Exactly the same as http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Headphone-Microphone-Adaptor-Cable-iPhone-/200484789691?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2eadd31dbb#ht_1995wt_1137

It works just fine for me and means I can take a call without taking my headphones out.
[Desire Accessories] pjhoughton1976:
I have the same product I can play/pause tracks and use the mike, but not skip tracks how did you get it to work?
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Double tap the button to skip a track. I thought 3x click skipped backwards, but it doesn't work, at least not with cyanogen mod 6. Long press also takes me to the music app when phone is unlocked, but this might be a CM thing as well. I

Never tried to take a call with the button, but there's no reason it wouldn't work if @MARK's earphones can.

Also, djtosh, sorry about not replying - I haven't been checking this part of the forum. It's been answered anyways:

1 - yes

2 - yes

3 - yes, but I can skip tracks on the ROM I use, not go back

[Desire Accessories] mattytj:
I don't know how you feel about using wireless bluetooth options, but I searched long and hard some time ago looking for exactly the same thing and found nothing with the right functionality - ie. that worked on par with the factory earphones.

After looking into all the options I opted for the Sony MW600 - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mw600?cc=gb&lc=en

I like them because I can use whatever quality earphones I want, they sync via bluetooth and the remote control part therefore just clips onto you wherever you like (shirt collar for use of mic for instance).

Has play, pause, skip forward and back tracks, fast forward and rewind, and volume control. Also has the hang up / call button and mute mic function. The display should have theoretically have shown song title but it doesn't. Works great with doubletwist and default music player in android.

Tons of battery life and uses same charging connector as Desire.

Hope my 2c helps people.

[Desire Accessories] CtapukaH:
I can confirm the Klipsch s4i work with the desire and many other HTC devices.

Can't say exactly what are the phones that support these ear buds, but they're totally worth the hustle. The volume controls don't work, but I don't deem them essential for a good experience. Mic functions well and the central button for Play / Pause / Answer calls is fully functional also. The sound quality is better than the buds that the majority of standard OEMs will provide with their devices, but I can't say it's exceptional. What I mean is that my expectations were a little over the edge maybe. I can assure you it's wonderful investment though, if you care about your sound.

I can't think of a downside to the buds. I guess you should be careful since they muffle the exterior sounds quite a lot and it's weird even when using them to talk on the phone, since you can't hear your own voice normally and feel weird xD

Cheers!

Hi everybody,

I read a lot about problems with the sms function, and I just noticed on HTC's website they have posted an upgrade for this problem in particular....

I saw I couldn't post the link here but you know how to get to the upgrade...

Just go to the HTC website and select the support section.

So I just thought i'd bring it to everybody's attention...my eyes are like a hawk attuned to HTC lol:p

Best of luck.

Err, ah....

I was thinking of upgrading the ROM to the 1.36 and went to the HTC download page. There I found these versions available: Greece: 1.36.482.1, Portugal: 1.36.410.1, France: 1.36.406.1, Denmark: 1.36.403.1, Italy: 1.36.408.1, Europe: 1.36.401.1, Spain: 1.36.412.1, Russian Federation: 1.36.411.1, Sweden: 1.36.413.1, Germany: 1.36.407.1, Nederland: 1.36.404.1, East Europe: 1.36.479.1, Norway: 1.36.409.1. So what's the difference and how do I know which one to choose as I am not in one of the country's specifically named. I guess I could go for "Europe" but I must admit to being a tad confused.

Can somebody inform me?

[HD Mini General] humphster:
Hungary and I do NOT speak the language. :-))
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
That's not it. HTC messaging is slow even if you have 30 messages. Normal Windows Mobile phone should handle several thousands of messages, before there will be any slow down. My previous phone, Asus P750 with only 64mb ram, can handle in excess of 20,000 messages, before it started to have a slight slow down. If HTC can't handle 20,000 messages, that's ok. We're not asking that much. But at least it should be able to handle 5,000 or 6,000 without any slow down. At the worst of the worst, it should be able to handle 3,000. Like any other windows mobile phone can.

SO don't swallow that BS explanation of HTC. It's wrong. There's something wrong with HTC messaging. THey'll have to admit it first, before we can expect them to dig in and root out the bugs.

HTC customer support is very LAZY. Damn TOO LAZY. Always trying to squeeze into an easy way out. We should not let them get away with this.

sms notification sound

I have a new problem with the sms!! When the screen turn off when I am not using the Phone there is no any notification that I received a new message!! But if someone call me the screen turn on and I hear the ring tone.

Any idea about that :eek:
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Try to check the notification settings for new message. Maybe the audio file is not selected, or the sound it make is too meek. Check if the "play sound" and "vibrate" is checked. Don't use the buttered-up pretty-looking settings of HTC. Go to windows mobile stock settings. (Click "menu" > "all settings" from manila tab.)

[HD Mini General] humphster:
Curious

If you haven't, try this. Settings > menu > all > sounds and notifications > notifications > Event > Message:New Message. Check Play sound and there's a test for the sound. At least you will know that it's a sound issue. Also are you sure that you requested a receipt for your SMS?

Hope I didn't repeat any other posts.
