Yea, Android is so vulnerable, they should implement into the OS a tool that manages what parmissions a user allows or denies from an app. Like in the old times with Sony Ericsson Walkman phones.

Here in android you install and app, and everything it comes with it...

There an app called Permission WatchDog it's useful it identifies the permissions of apps, but just that.

I haven't been hacked on sending SMS spam, but I have received some spam, only in SMS thought. And just that thanks God.

Mostly after I had installed an app of galleries of pictures...

And what's obiously suspecious, are those.

And those that shows you a picture after you finish a call...-.- WHAT THA FCK!! How ridiculous!

Why tha #$%& would you ever install such crap app?

I ve never installed those, except the galleries ones (asian girls gotta say), but for some reason they're not working for me anymore, I wonder why?..

Neighter I install those crappy ass games, only Raging Thunder and such, which are worth of being developed for a "smart phone"....

I'm the OP. Sorry just now getting back this. As I said before, I did not grant Slice It the access it wanted, and it launched anyway (meaning, it didn't need it....just 'wanted' it) but did NOT have any access to my root, so I had no issues.

However, Googling it I saw at least one nit wit (read: a text book example of why not just ANYone should root their phones) report that he gave the Slice It app Su access and was posting that he dint see why it needed it. So, Slice It apparently targets unprotected root phones and nit wit owners of Su protected root phones.

Hi all

I have rooted my phone to put a custom rom on using the 1 click method.

I have just put the stock vodafone 1.19 rom back in in prep for hopefully getting the 2.2 update. However i am thinking vodafone will take there usual slow assed time in getting it to us so i would want to put the WWE version on my unbranded Vodafone handset.

Now what i am wondering is how can i install a WWE version when the last time i tried i got a "this is not the correct update for your phone" or similar msg in the install.

is it something to do with this goldcard thing i have seen about here?

thanks all
[Desire General] paprkut:
Also tryed your method and got the same error. Can't seem to find anything on it so for the moment ill stick to 2.1 then update when a modded rom comes out.
[Desire General] lennshow66:
Your phone could need unlocking. However first try a goldcard to flash from vodaphone Rom to stock.

Bring on 2.2 :)
[Desire General] rob81h:
lennshow66 is right, You need a "gold card" to flash a stock rom, Rooted or not!:)

Edit: Good guide HERE if you don't know how!
[Desire General] SiL3nTKiLL:
this is interesting...
[Desire General] live_0978:
actually unrevoked method roots without the need of a goldcard.
[Desire General] rob81h:
Yes but to flash a HTC RUU rom you need a goldcard in your phone because the ruu rom uses it's own bootloader/recovery, If you don't have a goldcard in your phone an official rom will always throw up a ID Error!

Edit: On branded phones!:)
[Desire General] Smith2001:
thanks all thats exactly what i needed to know
[Desire General] Smith2001:
Thanks all guys its worked well, goldcard created via the excellent guide and then i installed the stock WWE install. so hopefully as my phone is a vodafone that was auto unlocked and now i have a goldcard i might get the update this weekend :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillar:
Hi there,

since a while I have a problem with my G-sensor. My desire is changing into landscape mode a lot of time where it really makes no sense while I am viewing at it in the normal way. there was a settings point for recalibrating the g-sensor in my original rom, but the froyo roms seem to not have this recalibration feature anymore. Therefore i was wondering what i can do. I was downloading one of those spirit level apps to see how the g-sensor seems to be calibrated and it looks like it is okay (+/-1°).

I was reading somewhere else on XDA about some complicated way to recalibrate through try and error setting of some values in a txt file which needs to be pushed through adb.

Anyone else had such problems yet and can give me some advices? because of the spirit level app everything seems to be ok with the g-sensor - still my desire is changing to landscape so often :(

thanks

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could help me make the most out of the navigation tool within google maps. I have just ordered a Desire holder for my bike.

I'm looking at trying to trace a bike route (non motorway) from Bracknell to Brighton.

I notice that if the walking option is chosen (so I can avoid major roads ie Motorways etc), it does not give you turn by turn navigation.

Any ideas? any other possible apps?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark.
[Desire General] georgemv:
I have no idea if what you are asking is possible, but could you please share a link to the cycle holder that you ordered? :)
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
I'm sure there's probably an easier way, but you could try OruxMaps.

I have yet to have a full play with it, but you can import .gpx files and have it display the route for you - whether it does a turn by turn I've yet to try.

I normally use a website called www.routeyou.com to create my routes, and then download them as .gpx files, that way I can then import them into OruxMaps for use when I'm cycling - Still need to get a mount though!

If you do go through the route of using .gpx files with OruxMaps, you will need to save your .gpx files into one of the directories (oruxmaps/tracklogs) on the SD card.

Another handy app I found was SportyPal which will track your route and give you some nice little audible messages when you reach each mile along the way.

Out of curiosity, which mount did you go for?
[Desire General] Airwalker82:

If you do not mind A and B roads you can click "avoid motorways" and follow the Google's turn-by-turn. That is what I do when I am on my motorbike. The main "pro" is that it tells you the street names where to turn, so I can put the Desire into pocket just having the earphones plugged in :)

The Galaxy S has that "bounce-back" animation when you scroll through a list and reach the end of it, similar to the iPhone.

I know HTC has this, when you're already (!) at the end of the list and start dragging, but that's not the same thing.

The Galaxy S/iPhone type animation makes things appear much smoother.

Does anyone know of any way to get this animation on the Desire? What are the files that need to be modified for this?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atalanta1:
Hi all,

on rhodium, like on all my latest WM devices, Pocket outlook calendar appointments are automatically shifted whenever I change timezones on the clock

Is there a way to avoid this??

THKS,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
What you're describing sounds like the normal -- correct -- behavior, isn't it? Appointments are set as absolute times.

That is, if you have a meeting scheduled for 10am in New York, then clocks in Chicago show 9am and clocks in Paris show 4pm when that meeting starts. So Calendar is supposed to shift the local clock-time of the appointment if you tell the phone that you're in a different time zone.

So you're saying that you want to disable/defeat this standard feature?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atalanta1:
Thks McBrian,

Yes, I want to change the "normal " behaviour, as I am taking the appointmets in local time.

I am a salesman, and so if, say, If am in Italy and I am arranging a meeting in NY at 10 am for tomorrow, when I got off the plane I would like my phone to keep it at 10 am. Make sense? UP to WM5, when you were changing the time of the phone the system was prompting you if you wish to adapt apointment timing to the new timezone.

I have tried to sneak the register looking for a tweak, without success.

now I hope somebody can help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
OK, I get it. :)

So, basically what you need is for Calendar to see the world as one big time zone, so that all appointments are in local time. Yeah, that does make sense for your application...and I don't have a clue if that's possible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tjhawkes:
I tried all I could think of and in the end what I would do was, for example when in London, change my location to New York, selected in the world clock. Then set an appointment in New York time. When you change back to your location being in London the appointment time will change but when you get to New York time it will be correct. Not sure if I changed my location to New York, when I got there, or if I just let my location update itself.

Sounds all wrong but works.

But I never allowed the automatic time changing because that causes too many problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atalanta1:
The fact is I normally get appointmets on Outlook, which are then synced to the device. What I am doing now is simply to change the time of the clock (and not the timezone) and disable automatic time change and localisation options, but i recognise I am giving up cool functions.

There should be a better way, I am sure...
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
I know there are solved posts about this but I have tried all of those. I've been trying to figure this one out for the past 2 days now.

Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]

The tips from above wont work in my rom. I have checked the registry after flashing my cooked rom and there is no "Redirect" value anymore on the said keys. I dont know why still the problem is there.

Under all settings>Personal>Buttons.. There are no buttons to assign...

When tying and XT9 is activated there are no words on the box of suggested words. Just an empty box.

Anyone who know something about this?

Thanks and Regards,

Pongskie
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Have you tried just exporting the entire Startinfo registry key? That works fine for me, and it's the best way to keep your start menu organized.
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Hi Farmer Ted thanks, but can you please explain further how the entire startinfo could be related to my problem? I got confused there. I checked the startinfo entries and exported it. I didn't see anything related to my problem.:(
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Startinfo has all the settings reg keys for the start menu. Also, look and see if there's a provxml with the re-direct keys. Delete all of them, and put the provxml in an EXT. I've never had the issue before (just read about it). I have a start menu EXT that is filled with modified (mostly empty) provxml's as well as my startinfo registry in an app.reg file. The modified provxml's over-write the stock ones from any new Sys build, and I never get any surprises in my start menu.
[Windows Mobile] lioryte:
pongskie,

Just for the heck of it, add this to your personal EXT reg since it will be cooked last. This should work for you

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
"Redirect"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons]
"Redirect"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
"Redirect"=-
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Thanks lioryte but even though I added those in my personal EXT reg still the problem exist. I check my phones reg through CeReg Editor and I saw that the redirect was not there but still the problem exist. I really had no idea why this is happening.

All Settings > Personal > Buttons... no buttons to assign..

When typing and XT9 was active, the suggested words box was empty. The words are not there.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
That pretty much suggests that a provxml is causing the problem. It's easy enough to fix this: look at all the provxml's in your dump folder, and search for redirect. You'll find it in 10 minutes. Then edit that file and put it in an EXT that runs at the end of your build.

Scott Hanselman's overview was pretty good. He constantly praised the platform as being surprisingly fast and stated he loved the mobile bing maps. The only cons he seems to have is copy/paste.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
More importantly the merged Facebook contacts problem. I think we might see that changed before launch.

Facebook integration with contacts is a mistake.

Also:

"There's a lot of "it just works" stuff going on. I'm used to everything being configurable."
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I'm a bit shocked that they don't have a way to control the facebook integration. I mean this is one of Kin's headline features (that you could have different levels of "friends"). Hopefully this is something they're just hiding til launch. Not sure why they would but there's hope.

That being said, it doesn't really bother me since I "only" have about 300 or so people on facebook. If I get annoyed I'll just delete people from my FB. I probably should do that anyways, heh.

[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Useless data with no information about the target audience is pointless.

MSDN is still king of the developer networks, and everybody who's in the .NET or XNA community is seems ready to play with WP7.

There's a much larger amount of .NET developers wanting to tinker with WP7, than Java developers wanting to tinker with Android.

And the business model is still much better for WP7 than Android. Specially for European application developers, where Android Market still don't support buying applications in a very large number of countries.

Of course not. You're just a user, a sheep, you aren't meant to understand anything.

To be fair, the amount of sheeps in this forum keep to amaze me.
