hi@all,

i have a question and i hope, you can help me:

when someone calls me, the trackball almost immediately begins to glow, after a short time the vibration starts, but until the caller-pic is shown and my (custom) ringtone starts it takes some seconds.

i know that this is a known problem and i found some solutions (edit /sys/build.prop, push ringtone to internal storage, convert to .wav), but it still takes some time. is there anything else i can do about this?

and what is the perfect format+bitrate+samplerate+length+size for the ringtones (so it gets loaded faster)? thx in advance...

greetz from germany,

das_coach

PS: sorry for my bad english^^

PPS: htc magib 32b, latest cm5, if anything else is important to know, tell me=)

I just updated from the 2.07 to the 2.1 ATT Base, but using the same SYS as before and the same EXt packages as before, and it had some side effects.

Some of this may have been caused my the rusghed way I updated my kitchen.

Cons:

1. Although XDA-UC ran and installed both exes and some xml, it did not import my exchange settings. neither the XDA-UC pack or the XML for that has changed in months.

2. When I restored my CHT quicklinks, I had to manually restore the one for ActiveSync (Linked to the above?)

3. Had a funny moment with manila where it went very flickery. Never had that before.

Pros

I can now activate voice command with the button on my bluetooth headset like I used to. This is a big thing for me.

Also, just realised, I set up a new kitchen so forgot to apply a few tweaks and change the pagepool. D'oh.

Any hints about the above - first time I have used an ATT base - is there anything around activesync in particular that might be impacted?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile] DJGonzo:
Do you have 2016 Manila working on this base? If so, would you be willing to share your kitchen or some key EXTs? What kitchen SW are you using? Thanks.

And #3, I had Manila be flickery on almost all the ROMs I have tried. Valyrie, Energy, mines. Are you using CFC compression?
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
using 2012, sorry.

i use oskitchen 1.3.

my recook went better but i think there may be something about ActiveSync.

so far so good..
[Windows Mobile] DJGonzo:
I love it. Its freaking fast.

And I use the same kitchen SW too ;)

Hoping you could help me.

I switched from o2 to orange and got a desire in april. one of the first things I did was debrand it, now I'm running defrost. The problem is, it's never worked properly and I'm getting sick of it, so it's going back to orange. My problem is that I can get internet fine on GPRS and HSDPA, I've never seen the EDGE symbol and if I'm only on 3G (not HSDPA) I cannot get any data at all (ever).

I've tried every radio in existence, does anyone else have this problem?

Anyway, I called tech support earlier and they asked do I have 3G symbol in upper or lower case. I can't remember how it looks on the stock orange rom, I know hsdpa is 3G+ but besides that I can't remember whether it's upper or lower case. Could someone please let me know.

Also, anyone got a link for the stock orange rom?
[Desire General] Singh400:
Pretty sure it is all uppercase.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
+1 to uppercase. Lots of people have the same problem. I have in some situations been able to use UMTS 3G but 90% of the time it just stalls for ten seconds and then reverts to GPRS o HSDPA. Since I've been away from the city, I've started getting EDGE connections quite frequently.
[Desire General] Acidmax:
Orange data seems extremely unstable for me. Especially annoying when im with someone and i tell them "oh let me just check google maps" and then nothing happens even though i've got full signal and H/3G.
[Desire General] theboylogan:
Same here in Glasgow.

Debranded Orange with stock ROM and I can often have full 3G+/H coverage but no data throughput

This is an inherant problem though, even though you may have four bars of signal from the local cell, there's no guarantee of any data bandwidth on that cell.

Think of it like my home network:

I have an Apple Airport Wi-Fi base station providing my wireless network.

I then connect it this into my DSL router via an ethernet cable.

Now, even if my DSL connection is down, the router is fully utilised, down, or the ethernet cable to the Airport is down - my Desire, iPod Touch, Laptop etc will all display full wireless connectivity, but I can't do any browsing on them :(
[Desire General] geektastic:
Thanks guys, I knew there were widespread problems but didn't know whether or not everyone had the same symptoms. Pretty irritating, I'm getting pretty sick of not being able to rely on my phone! I had an unlocked g1 on o2 previously and in comparison it was awesome. I'm definitely going to tell Orange this isn't good enough.

Sadly, I don't think getting a replacement is going to help. Completely spoils an otherwise amazing phone.

I'll never recommend thus to anyone!
[Desire General] WillyVWade:
Phone> "*#*#4636#*#* >phone information > preferred network type > GSM Auto (PRL)

That did it for me
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
I had the same problem. My advise to you all is do what I did, call Orange executive office, tell them the problem and that you'd like to cancel your contract because they are not supplying what you pay for. Then go to tmob, and get the same contract, except the mobile internet works 100% of the time. Just a heads up, I had an 8 month battle with Orange over this. Now on tmob, and I've never been happier.

I bet if you phone customer services over this they'll say "we've never heard of this issue before" even though they've heard it loads. Orange are not acknowledging the problem exists.

PS I hate Orange (incase you couldn't tell!)
[Desire General] geektastic:
Thanks, that's good to know. I've had some experience of what the exec customer complaints team do at work -its a very effective route!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MSG500:
I have recently upgraded frm wm 6.1 HTC Tytn II to HTC Touch Pro 2 6.5

I like the new phone but I do not like 6.5 operating system.

The biggest thing that annoys me is that my my 6.1 had "key lock" in settings.

This allowed me to turn on the device by pressing a button other than the power button. I can't do this in 6.5. I dont even have the option. I have to press the power button everytime to wake up the phone. Can someone out there please help me!!! Is there a fix for this somewhere in the registry? If not,

i might consider going back to my solid and more stable kaiser.

Look forward to hearing from you

im using a custom ringtone, but i dunno if its that or what.... but if my phone has gone to sleep and auto-locked, when i get a call, my phone lights up, and the ringtone starts to play, but the caller ID wont show up for a few seconds, just the lock screen, even to the point that sometimes the caller has hung up before i even have the opportunity to answer.

has anyone else dealt with this and figured it out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] muffmaster:
Hi all! 1st post here :)

I tried to flash the new 2.2 firmware yesterday, but something went wrong...

I have now tried to hard reset it from Recovery mode (Vol Up+Home+Power).

I tried cache wipe and factory reset first, and the update.zip option as well.

No matter what I do, the phone boots, shows the "S" logo for a while, but then the screen gets black. I can't even tell if the phone is on or off...

What's the matter?! I'm at work so I can't re-flash it with Odin...

Any suggestions on this? Please don't tell me it's bricked :(

Have a good one!

EDIT: The phone is ON now, because the Back and Menu buttons are lit. But the screen remains black and the phone seems unresponsive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tinou6468:
I am having this same problem, I flashed to JP3 and it worked however when I flashed back to JM2 I have this exact same problem, it looks as the flash goes through completely however it doesnt work.

I have flashed, and reflashed, using previous firmwares, restarted my computer, reflashed again, flashed with repartition box checked, flashed with repartition box unchecked,.... all seem to produce the same results,... after flash the phone goes straight into recovery mode... is this normal>??? I am unable to run update.zip, the phone says

Cant open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

installation aborted

Booted into recovery mode and did a factory reset however still boots to a black screen.

Reflash the phone in download mode just produces the same results.... im lost

Update: So I restarted my computer, and went through with the flash, after the phone reboots, it automatically goes to the recovery menu with this error:

update media, please wait

E:Cant Mount /dev/block/stl10

(invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA

your storage is not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

Copy default media content failed

Now at this screen I just select reboot phone.

help please...

i solved the problem instaling samsung recovery system ver 3 <3e> the e means europe "in my case".

for that i flashed with JP3 "froyo 2.2" and pit 513 because android 2.1 has SRS v2 and dont let us solve the repartition problem, after the SRS pops i selected the option "flash sd card" and after that selectet option reboot "or restart i dont remember" and voila.

if you have any Q? just ask i will try to help

ps: you have to wipe data e wipe partition and format memory and at the end reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zhumingvictor:
Hi I got the same problem so I flashed with pit 513 but there is no "Flash SD card" option, there is only format internal sd card option and it gives "can't mount sd card", can you give me some help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] umar.ranjha:

It seems like clockwork mod not deleting Dalvik Cache. If you didn't made that mistake like me then try UGJG8 Firmware with 512 pit.

Please can any one kindly explain the advantages/disadvantages between HTC's Android and the Virgin version of Android. Please if possible exclude from the discussion the HTC Sense interface.

[Desire General] samcory:
By virgin I mean plain un-adulterated version of Andriod
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
I think the HTC Sense and HTC apps/widgets are the main differences between a pure android and HTC android ROM.
[Desire General] samcory:
I notice that some apps do not work on the HTC version especialy the ones relating to logon security options.
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
As soon as HTC get their hands on something they add in their own features, mainly the Sense UI and afew apps
[Desire General] chiekurz:
HTC Sense is adding some additional stuff there.

For example, I do really like stock android more, however, I am forced to use sense ui, since stock android, doesn't support our corporate exchange.
[Desire General] samcory:
Are you sure the stock andriod does not support Exchange Serever email?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] a.key:
Hi.

I was wondering how to do that and what's required for this - turned out that it's dead simple.

Requirements:

Linux machine

Root on the above Linux machine

Already working android on HD2

HD2 booted into Windows Mobile or the SD card taken out of it and mounted to your Linux machine

So...

There are some rootfs.img available to download from: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719646 but they may not be working with your build or there's a newer build. The instructions I provide are universal and should work for all builds.

Since we have access to all partition images we can modify anything we like on them so getting root on your android will be easy.

From what I discovered - which maybe is obvious to some but was not to me, was that su binary is located in 2 places (two partitions):

/bin

/system/xbin

and the one in /system/xbin is overmounted by by the one from /bin - probably because the one in /bin is hacked (the standard one may not allow granting root to any application and only allow it to ADB shell).

If you do the following using any terminal emulator from Android:

ls -all /system/xbin/su

you'll see that it's permissions are set to: -rwxrwxrwx or -rwxr-xr-x depending on what build u have (the first one is not really a good permission set since it allows anybody to write to the file - BAD but irrelevant here). What's missing here is the SUID bit. Without SUID permission this binary won't be able to grant root. So what u need to do here is set su as SUID.

I saw on some hacked/rooted rootfs.img that this has been done by adding a chmod 04755 /bin/su and /system/xbin/su lines to startup scripts somewhere near the end of the booting process but my way of doing it is to set SUID on the binary itself.

So...

Assuming that you have your HD2 connected to your Linux machine via USB and it's set to STORAGE mode or you have your SD card inserted to the Linux machine and mounted as /media/disk (the path may be different in your case) you need:

On your Linux machine - Become root (su -) or (sudo bash) or login simply login as root

create yourself a directory (eg rootfs): mkdir rootfs

mount the root partition image to rootfs: mount -o loop /media/disk/rootfs.img rootfs

grant SUID to /bin/su: chmod +s rootfs/bin/su

unmount the image: umount rootfs

safely remove the card/disconnect HD2 (by using your distro ways - eg in KDE4 use "device notifier widget"

insert your SD card to HD2/disconnect HD2 from Linux box's USB port

Fire up haret and boot your Android distro

Enjoy rooted Android

SlideIT is a Swype style keyboard.

I bought it for my HTC HD2, which I only owned for 3 months before it was stolen. Last week I finally got a new smartphone, on the Android platform.

Anyhow, I asked the Dasur Team, the authors of SlideIT if they could provide me with the Android installation file but they refused.

Apparently they want me to pay for it again. I must say I find this quite disappointing.

I am happily using Swype which is just as good now (it was a bit lacking 5 months ago but has improved a lot).

Thanks for reading,

Happy swyping :)
[Android Apps and Games] e-LUNATIC:
If you want to have automatic further updates from the market you need to buy the app again. I understand the slide it team and that's not a poor service also you have buy the app for a different plattform.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Android Apps and Games] ozd:
I would be very surprised to find any apps that you would get free cross-platform updates.

Although I would not complain if my wife could buy the itunes version of things and I could get the android version, it is not a very good business model.
[Android Apps and Games] SpeeDemon:
Edit: read your post wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
If Dasur (the SlideIt devs) has a policy of no cross-platform updates they should explicitly state it.

The larger problem is that their customer support just stinks.

When my phone received an OTA update SlideIt no longer showed up in the market for me. I had to reset the phone due to another app and could not download SlideIt. I contacted them and they said contact Google they are responsible for what shows up in the market. I finally harassed them into a refund.

I had the same problem with three other apps. The devs for those were very helpful and I was able to get the apps back on my phone.

SlideIt is a great product, with poor customer support. I Like it enough that when it did show up in the market again (after another OTA update) I bought it again. (yeah, I'm a sucker) .

I do know that the issue of what you can see and buy in the market has many factors from the manufacturer's, to google and the devs. But when you sell a product you should support it.

BTW - Google has absolutely no 'customer' service. I can see why they failed as a retailer (Nexus 1).
[Android Apps and Games] SpeeDemon:
Ouch. I do not agree with said statements at all. Google sells many products, most of which are wildly successful. Are you sore about something, or just wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
[Android Apps and Games] ozd:
I would assume that its a given.

You don't MacOffice updates just because you own Office 2007 for Windows..and I doubt that is explicitly stated on the Office 2007 Box.
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
Google may provide support to corporate clients but if you use any of the "free" products (they are not free you trade your privacy for them) try getting support. 30% of market fees go to google but try getting help if you have a problem with the market.

I state this as my experience with them. No grudge. Can you give me a phone number I can call about losing paid apps when my phone updates?
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
There are products that you can cross platform upgrade. Adobe Photoshop is one. There are other products that charge one fee for all platforms it is available on. Rainlendar Calendar for example.

So no I would not assume that a product offers cross-platform upgrades. I would ask or read the info provided by the developer/seller.
[Android Apps and Games] All Day On XDA:
I realise the dasur team don't have to provide cross platform support.

But it's not like I want to run the app on both platforms at once. I just want it on the machine I'm using.

I don't feel like I'm asking for something I haven't already paid for.

If I was in their shoes, I would value their paying customers. Firstly because there are competitors who offer an equivalent product for free. And secondly because it's not hard to find their product for free with a crafty google search. Not that I'm condoning piracy - but hey, I've already paid for their app...
[Android Apps and Games] mrono:
While I don't agree with the fact that they should give him the android app because he paid for the winmo one, I do agree that slideIT customer service is horrible, it took me a week to get a refund through them due to lack of response.
