[Wildfire Android Development] roomkokos:
Oooh right makes sense now :) so virgin is like a mobile provider like orange or O2. And u asked if i bought it on ebay :p i dunno how i missed that part lol

Right to explain a bit, i got my desire on a 2 year contract as well however rules in our country demand our providers not to lock the phones down, means we buy a phone on contract.with one provider and u can freely use any providers sim card and their networkas long as u are.still paying the monthly fee of the contract.

Its same thing with desire - branded.phones will get froyo later. But when u rootbur phone to flash a custom rom, the brand doesnt matter anymore as it becomes unlocked. As well as voids waranty.

But its aall a lot easier for the desire coz the support is so much better, wildfire is well... really limited when it comes to custom roms as its a lot slower and diferent procesor as.well as less ram and that all causes devs problems in cooking a good rom. So it might take a while to get a better rom.

Besides not so many new things on froyo that eclair doesnt have. Ok there are some goodies of course, but kany people dont use it on a daily baisis so its really nothing you guys are missing. U will loose more by flasing an ota froyo than waiting for a good custom rom to he made based on froyo after a while.

But, if any of u have a chance to give some extra money, go buy a.desire instead. Seriously, my friend bought a wildfire and when i saw it... its just not a quarter of a desire. Maybe u dont see it when u never held a desire before,but when u get used of desires amoled u just can stand an hour with wildfire. Not to mention the speed and xda support and custom roms.

Desire in my country costs 300 eur on 2 year contract for 15eur per month, its worth every cent, i would never buy a wildfire that costs 130 eur on same contract. I would feel i wasted at least 100eur for a bad cause.

If u get a chance buy a desire u will love it i guarantee u. Lol i think i will cuarge the htc for advertisuing their phone, but its just an insane device and i think im good with phones for couple of years since this is my laptom ib 3.7 inch version ;)

[Wildfire Android Development] rexzooly:
I have used side by side the wildfire and desire yes the screen and gaming is better on the desire but using the default HTC home screen and all the HTC bulk my wild fire was faster and better to handle the same HTC Sences takes, and your right the wild fire is half the size but does not make it less of a device, my phone is not a gaming system so I don't care in the game speed, in my tests the wildfire as been tweeked where the desire fell, and well HTC had time to do this with the wildfire, but just cos its a slower profess and less ram is like saying my P4 dual ore is not as good as my P4 Core 2 duo, my systems both have tasks that one is better then the other at.

The desire is wast of money in my eyes, my htc hd2 is way better phone so since i don't need it for gaming I jumped for the wildfire.

I wont be adding a cooked rom to my device this is what I am stating and virgin mobile users wont be getting the update far as HTC care right now, they say there not sure there still might release a stock version but in there words the desire they have had a problem with the update on that handset HTC stated this not me.

The desire is not a bad handset before you have a go at me but that does not make it a better hand set over the wildfire.

Hi everyone,

i have a HD2 which i bought in uk on the orange network, i have come to usa on holiday and am getting no network , i am on pay as you go

Please help me out guys i dont know what i have to do to get network here in Las Vegas

Thanks

edit: it was also not working in india
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Did you enable roaming on your account before you went?
[HD2 General] Aditya7:
not sure how to, on my previous htc touch hd it was on automatic roaming and automatically connected abroad

so i didnt enable roaming, how should i do it?

edit: just checked orange website it says if youre on PAYG you dont need to do anything it should automatically work

i am using ChuckyRom Tabtastic
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
You'll need to contact your network provider.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Go into Comm Manager, select the Phone (not the on/off switch), go to the bottom and select Band. Make sure both are set to Auto. Sometimes this is set to GSM and wont work in America.

Then go to Settings, select All Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Network. Change from Automatic to Manual, then select Find Network. If you can see networks then the problem is with your network provider not allowing you to connect.

Silly question, but have you taken your phone off Airplane Mode in the Comm Manager from the flight?
[HD2 General] Aditya7:
sorry for the late reply had no internet, ok thanks will contact orange and yeah i have taken it off airplane mode lol

Thanks for the help :)

Hi there.

I got Quake3 loaded on the phone, it starts up and I can look around and shoot, but I can't bind anything to the keys for movement.

Has anyone successfully configured it to use any of the buttons on the phone?

Thanks.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] TheBigBentley:
I went through the same issue. After reading the requirments it states a physical keyboard is required. Shame too.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DivinityCycle:
Well, the Volume and Camera buttons are probably map-able, since Volume Up is already mapped to fire by default. Probably need to talk to the author.

Someone get the Wiimote to be compatible and I'll send you boatloads of money lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] WACOMalt:
The developer already has rudimentary on screen joystick support as of yesterday. It is rudimentary, but it works, and it is mostly multitouch capable.

He is currently working on making that better. Also I will be making a quake3 mod that will make the menus be more easily usable on the android port. The current best setup I have used is:

Volumes are forward and back, camera is shoot, screen is aim. I tried mapping jump to touch, but it didn't work.

The port is still very much in early stages, and it sounds like he is hard at work on making it more usable. Hopefully I can help with my mods :)
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
After updating to the newest leak that came out on 08-01-10.. I am not able to adb to my phone anymore since apparently it is not recognizing my device. I am trying to copy the ringtones and notifications sound directory from my sd card to the system/media/audio directory.

I am using Terminal Emulator on the phone.

I am able to get rw access to the ROM by typing in..

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

then I am trying to copy the file by typing..

cp -r /sdcard/download/ringtones /system/media/audio

It gives me an error saying "Cannot allocate system memory"

does anybody know what that means? How can do this?
[Droid Incredible General] partizan81:
Can't write to the system folder when the OS is booted. Just adb shell into the phone and make sure system is mounted in CWM, and you can run that same cp line and do what you want.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
yea, thats what I wanted to do first.. but my computer no longer recognizes the phone in adb mode (even though I am able to get access to the internal drive and sd card under My Computer).

don't know what to do right now.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
is there a way to adb shell from the phone without using a PC, say in recovery mode or something? Any terminal app available to use in recovery mode?
[Droid Incredible General] morbos:
As far as accessing while the phone is booted: Pull down your notification bar, click on where it says "Disk Drive." Change to "Charge only."

If your phone has your drives mounted for the computer, as a drive, they're not mounted for the phone, and therefore, adb.

As far as the rest, we currently have no access to /system while the phone is booted. You'll be able to mount the partitions in RECOVERY and interact with them.

Anybody with a clearer answer, feel free to correct me. :-)
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
whether your disks (internal and sdcard) are mounted or not.. adb should still be able to recognize a connected device.. which is where my PC all of a sudden has stopped doing after I installed the 8/1 leak.

adb shell with write access on the other hand is only possible in clockwork recovery and that too only after mounting the system.

[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i use advance task killer and set it to auto kill every hour...but ive been reading everywhere that people say not to use task killer. whats ur opinion on this?
[Captivate General] Croak:
Don't use them. Kick the habit. Get the monkey off your back. Go cold turkey. Just say no.
[Captivate General] Simba501:
It's okay, in my opinion. The key is to use it safely (that means not using an auto kill). I use advanced task killer as well. I have the security set to High, and I have established an ignore list (for applications that need to remain open to provide me updates, like Gmail, Market, Clock - for alarms, Yahoo Messenger, etc). Setting the security to high ensures that processes aren't killed when you kill everything else. I put a widget on the homescreen that kills, when you select it. I kill everything whenever I put my phone down. In my experience, not using a TK gives me too much lag for my taste. I also noticed quicker battery drain without a TK. This is my personal experience and I strongly recommend doing a couple of days both WITH a TK and WITHOUT a TK. Remember, if you do continue using a TK, do so carefully. Review this article for a little more insight. Good luck
[Captivate General] ViniD:
I use it and personally have noticed increase battery life. I set it to autokill every hour but i have left security at high and all the applications i need running plus widgets that need to keep updating, market, and alarm i have put on the ignore list. As long as you do this it should be helpful to you.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
They are so many robot-lovers out there and they will claim Android is the best. They will tell you the OS is so advanced that you don't have to worry about the background processes. Well, don't just believe them. Try a task killer yourself and you'll find out if it's good for you.

For me, a task killer is definitely necessary.

(1) You need a task killer to kill those AT&T crappy processes. Things like AT&T hot spot, AT&T navigator will start automatically every time you start your phone. If you don't root your phone, you need to kill them manually. I've tested it, those stupid, useless processes drain your battery like crazy.

(2) To kill other auto-sync, auto-update apps. A lot of the app use background syncing or updating. If you don't configure them correctly, chances are they will run in the background and drain your battery.

I have used two different Android phones. Without task killer, I would probably have a battery for less than half of a day. With task killer, I can at least last a whole day.

PS, In case you didn't notice, I hate the way Android handles multitasking. I like the idea of letting the OS to handle background processes. But the job it is doing right now is just horrible.
[Captivate General] Anthonok:
This is my first android phone and i do no use a task killer. i started the first few days using one and then stopped after reading alot of things saying not to. i may try one again and use it only for things i do not want running
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedRamage:
Okay, so I'm using Google Voice with call presentation on, and I want to setup a shortcut to send a '1' to the phone to accept an incoming call. I just got a bluetooth watch and I want to be able to have the watch send the key so I don't need to dig out my phone when I'm in the car.

So, to test this a little bit I installed KeyPress and I setup that if I double press my start button in AE Buttons, it runs KeyPress with the parameter of 97. This works perfectly. No issues at all.

But when I try to create a short cut, everything fails. If I just press tap VJKeyPress, I get the little "help" screen. If I create a shortcut, and tap it, I also get the help screen. But when I try to modify the shortcut to pass the '97', then it fails.

I'm guessing that I'm missing something in the syntax, but I can't figure it out.

I have the path, in quotes:

"\P F\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe"

Then I've put 97 at the end just plain, in quotes, in <>, I've put in right behind the .exe inside the quotes... Nothing seems to work at all. I'm at a total loss.

Anyone have a suggestion?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Hi,

Could you send me a screenshot of the configuration screen in AE Buttons.

I can't think why it wouldn't work, but what you could do is create a normal shortcut that launches VJKeypress with the required parameters, and then use AE Button to launch that .lnk shortcut itself, rather than VJKeyPress.exe

Should you get really stuck, VJBrisk might be able to help you, but I think the above should be adequate.

Drop me a PM (and post in the thread) again if you get stuck.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedRamage:
Oops... I didn't think I explained myself properly.

The AE Buttons is WORKING. It's the normal shortcut link that I can't get to work... and that's the thing I really need to get working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Sorry, my bad, didn't read it properly.

I normally put example shortcuts in my cabs, but curiously I've got none in the cab on my phone. Can't believe the app is nearly 5 years old! Wow.

Anyway, I just tried making a shortcut.

If you paste the following:

55#"\Program Files\Vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 133

into a text document, and rename it Test.lnk, and copy that over to your phone, it should create a shortcut that locks your phone.

If that works, just change the parameter to do what you want.

What app are you using to create shortcuts?

And what's the significance of the \p\f in your first post?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedRamage:
A bit more information...

I tried to write a simple MortScript to run this as well. According to the MortScript manual, to run an app, you use this command:

Run ( "\path\AppName" [,"Parameter"] )

In other words, the path and the command first, and then put in the optional parameter. When I put in just the app name:

Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" )

And run the script, I get the little help popup as I would expect. When I put in the parameter:

Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" , "97" )

Nothing happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedRamage:
Okay... well that locked the phone fine.

I'm using both the text editor on Windows and Word on my PPC (not saving it in Word Format when prompted).

Just Copy the original file and then paste as shortcut.

Didn't feel like typing out \Program Files\. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RedRamage:
Okay, so using the '133' definitely worked, but when I change it to 97 (the code to send NumPad1), it doesn't work.

But it DOES work when I tell AE Buttons to run VJKeyPress with the parameter of 97. Ugh... very odd.

Just for the fun of it, I also tried setting up a button in AE Buttons to run the shortcut that has '97' in it. That didn't work. I'm at a complete loss to figure out what's going on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
It may be that the keypress is occurring, but it's being fed into AE Buttons rather than the Phone Dialler, ie if when you press the required button, AE Button becomes active, which launches VJKeyPress, which presses 1 <b>within</b> AE Button, not the phone dialler.

You could test this by trying other keys and seeing what happens.

Also try activating Word or something else on your phone and launch the shortcut - see if the desired key gets pressed.

Also, you said NumPad1 - this is the number pad on a pc keyboard.

Try 49, which is just key 1.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PolishDude:
On the iphone if i switched the vibrate function on the side of the phone, everything was muted, I notice when i put my phone into vibrate if i go to a game its still at full volume, whats a good master volume controller or something of that sort? I see a ton of them on the market

Yeah, only Media Volume is not muted when you use the volume rocker button.

AudioManager I think is good for a free widget.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MeteoricManiac:
So I dropped my Tilt today and there are several big cracks through the glass front. The phone works fine and I think the LCD screen is alright. I think the cracks are just in the glass part and the LCD is fine but I cant tell. One thing for sure is that the touch response is all messed up and I can't align it. I see digitizers on ebay for cheap. Is that the glass part that is cracked? Can I just get that or do I need a whole screen assembly?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] edumza8:
I tried to change digitizer but it is a mess you need to weld it to the display and it is not so easy (I'm not an electronic technician), additionally it comes sticked all around the display border so it is hard to clean the display boundary to stick the new digitizer and also it is hard to remove the old digitizer because it is to weak to remove it in one piece. For this reason, at least for my experience, I rather prefer to change the display and digitizer together so you don't have to fight with the removal, welding and sticking the new digitizer. Hope help you take decission.

I've installed the drivers from links within this forum that have to do with rooting. The phone is rooted but unless it is set in USB Debug Windows will not do anything with it. 2 new drives appear in My Computer after connecting the phone..one being the internal sd card and the other being the sd card I put in the phone...but both drives appear to be unusable for some reason and it shows they are both 0 bytes.

Pull down the notification tray. In mass storage mode at least, if you click the row about about USB, it will offer an option to unmount the drives from Android which will then allow the computer to use the drives.
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
Just makes no sense at all. I just did as you said and put it on as mass storage and the drivers were installed perfectly. What I'm trying to do is put music onto it but can't really do that using Kies without the PC recognizing it....

I also need it to be recognized to do some customizing stuff since I'm now rooted.

Plug it in, make sure you're in mass storage mode, when you plug it in, you'll get a USB icon in the notification bar, pull down the notification bar, click on USB Connected, and then click MOUNT.
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
Apparently Kies doesn't work in mass storage mode. I did what you said...opened Kies and it recognized the phone but it said to reconnect it cause that mode wasn't supported
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If you want to use Kies, you need all of the following:

1. USB setting must be in Kies mode, not mass storage mode

2. Your phone must be in home screen (and probably has to use Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, not 3rd party launcher).

If both are met, you will see the phone goes into MTP Application mode once connected to the PC.

I found there is really nothing Kies can do that I can't do with WMP. If you need to sync with your desktop Outlook, Kies is probably your only option. Otherwise, I'd use either Media Player mode or Mass Storage mode and use WMP on the PC to sync music and video.
