[Streak 5 General] texasryno:
So I talked to my buddy who is on the dell project and he said they are still working with AT&T to get the beta units unblocked. At least the free captivate was a decent concession from ATT even if the block was a crap move to make.

I've just been using my Dell on wifi at the house in the meantime.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
I will also gladly take a Beta unit in as-new condition for a decent price.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Will the betas still get the over the air upgrades etc? I wonder what sort of paper work they got with their Streaks. Has anyone ever seen the paperwork ? or was there any?

The link I used to order didn't say anything about "locked to AT&T." Only says you get a $250 discount if you go with AT&T ..

MY ORDER LINK I GOT FROM A DELL REP ON TWITTER

ORDER LINK FROM EMAIL EARLY SIGN UP

Mine arrived yesterday TOTALLY LOCKED TO AT&T ..
[Streak 5 General] gersztoff:
I just spoke with someone at Dell who said she does not believe AT&T will be unblocking the beta IMEI's.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
interesting, But their are a few roomers floating around about this i suppose which dell rep you speak to :)
[Streak 5 General] gersztoff:
Thanks... I also tried AT&T, who were no help whatsoever. Shocking. :)
[Streak 5 General] joeclark:
nope not yet.
[Streak 5 General] joeclark:
I have been talking with one of the girls in the Beta dept. who i was talking with during the terms of the beta (I actually got the phone buy running in the race) and she is telling me that ATT will NOT be allowing the betas because they have not gone through the "testing" that the Official Units have gone through (basically, they are not locked to att) so Att does not want to risk their network with the beta phones on the network.

at least that is how it was discribed to me.
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
U

Wow that really sucks... I was really close to buying a beta on eBay...
[Streak 5 General] gersztoff:
Especially considering how the reps at Dell (who I spoke with anyway) were sure they'd be unblocked after the release.

"You can use any handset on our network you want," says Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's wireless business. "We don't prohibit it, or even police it."

I've been using my streak for the last few days now.

While I'm happy with it, I only wish if there was a way to hack/increase the volume of the Streak with some program or by changing registry values.

Are there ANY ways at all to boost the volume/audio and how??
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:

I can get a modified AudioFilter.csv to load, but it wont read from it. There are also some audio related files in 'sys/modules' which get loaded from boot but when you modify them and reboot the 'mediaserver' it doesn't seem to do anything.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaXmYsT:
Hi guys!

I´ve got problems to establish a connection to the university wlan network with my phone.

We´ve got a Cisco Router, so I need Cisco VPN support.

Any helpful suggestions for me? :)

Greetings, DaXmYsT
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaXmYsT:
I asked SE, they sad they are not sure if they are intended to implement Cisco PPTP VPN support. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gled:
It is possible, but not easy at the moment... If you know linux well, look at the tun.ko module i compiled for the x10 mini and look for get-a-robot-vpnc packages and how to's. You'll have to fix the vpnc scripts but it works. Sorry i'm not at home and won't be able to share more than the kernel module i posted in the x10 mini forum...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
I too am battling with this.

The vpnc-script as is stands does't work very well and is throwing up loads of errors. I had to install busybox on the device and set PATH so it used those commands so it could find things commands like "which" and "grep" etc. However simple lines in the script to set up variables such as

IPROUTE="`which ip | grep '^/' 2> /dev/null`"

Which is simply trying to set variable IPROUTE to the path where the command "ip" is found is failing, so I've set had to set up all the variable paths manually. I do not know why this is failing, but I suspect it's using "grep" is a slightly different manner to the busybox grep I have. grep didn't exist in /system/bin by default on my phone. (Debranded x10 on Voda)

However the big problem I've now discovered is the "route" command. The default in /system/bin fails miserably with the commands in the script and the busybox route command doesn't support all the options either.

So I'm now working out what the script is trying to do with the routing table so I can set all this manually...

...but appreciate any help!

UPDATE: Well I got vpnc working - turned out my version of busybox was waaay out of date. Installed the latest and it works just fine. Of course now I can connect via RDP to my work machine over my VPN I very much doubt I'll ever want or need to!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Which busybox version are you using?

Also which app from the market?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
I am using busybox 1.16.1 downloaded from busybox - I then had to copy the binary over to my phone and installed it in /system/sbin

this caused me a few issues as in init.rc it sets up the path /system/sbin before /system/bin so applets from busybox took priority over /system/bin.

So I had to remove the "ps" and the "su" commands IIRC.

However doing it the other way would have also caused issues, as "route" only worked when I used the busybox 1.16.1 and not the one currently in my /system/sbin

Other strange oddities also included the fact that rmmod from busybox didn't work but it did from the original /system/bin.

meh

I then also got the latest get-a-robot-vpnc.

I also needed the tun module, which I placed into /system/lib/modules

get-a-robot-vpnc didn't automatically install this module correctly though so I modified the scrip to ensure that when I used it the tun.ko module was loaded....

TUNTEST="`lsmod | grep 'tun'`"
if [ -z "$TUNTEST" ]; then
echo "tun not found try to install"
insmod -f /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
else
echo "tun module installed"
fi

Which seemed to do the trick.

I also had to put in my appropriate flags for vpnc.

Essentially I got it working first just using the shell and typing the commands manually and then got it working with the GUI.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hercule18:
I do not understand you mean that the included VPN client in Mini does not work with cisco VPN (pptp)?

Because for me it worked with a cisco vpn 3000.You say that you do pptp but which one (it could be pptp over ipsec?)

However, there is a free client on the market called "vpn connection", which work very vell with cisco equipement, it worked like a charm on my dream, but only on wifi as my phone provider do not let pass ipsec or pptp/ipsec.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shlurpee:
So I have been looking back and forth at the cooked roms like energy and cookie tabs and all those, and I have been keeping up with the android development on this site. I feel like the android program is safer because it leaves your primary OS untouched...but my perception may be wrong.

On average are the cooked roms more dangerous to your phone compared to the android project?

I want to play around with my phone...but I want to play it safe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] epoh:
Well, they are really two totally different things.

Andriod is still 100% in development. Several very key features don't work at all yet (no external speaker, no BT, etc). Yes, it's very simple to load onto your SD card and playwith, but I can't imagine it's in a state where you are going to run that for an extended period of time.

Flashing a custom rom isn't any more dangerous than loading a different OS on your computer. Just follow the staps as posted in the wiki and you'll be fine. You can always flash back to stock if you want to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Neither is dangerous. Do both.

A nice custom ROM will freshen up your TP2 quite nicely. And Project Android is a nice way to be able to play around with Android.

Some people leave their TP2 booted into Android for longer periods of time. But it sucks batteries fast, and its lack of audio (for anything but the actual phone) make it impractical for me to do so for anything except messing around.

Hey!

Anyone knows if it's possible to connect a external microphone in the 3.5mm jack. Would be nice to be able to plug in a better microphone when recording music shows etc. Shouldnt it be possible since you can speak through the htc-headset?
[Desire Accessories] Kameo:
I don't think that you can plug a mic in it, this jack is "way-out" only, not "in"...

At least i never tried, but i guess it's how it works (if anyone can confirm this or prove me wrong :D).
[Desire Accessories] RichEO:
It's a 4 pin 3.5mm TRRS connector. It has a mic connector built in as well as the audio and ground.

I don't know if you can get a microphone with that specific connector, look it up and see... but it would be pretty easy to make your own connector if you cannibalise a headset or something like that and then connect whatever mic you wanted to that.
[Desire Accessories] elhermens:
Not sure about the quality, but dealextreme sku.20714 seems like to fit your description.
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
I bought one of these some time ago to connect my Klipsch headphones.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Headpho...GS-/280544944694?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL

It is still recognised as a headset even when there are no headphones plugged into it.

So the quality for what you want is probably poor BUT it does prove that it can be done.

Perhaps one of these PLUS a good quality mic PLUS a soldering iron is the answer :D

As a self proclaimed techno-geek I can tell you that what grabbed my attention was the "what droid gets" commercials.

how many android devices can you name that were out this time last year though, these numbers don't mean anything. the hero, moment, droid, eris, incredible, evo, even the backflip are counted as opposed to counting JUST the magic and G1.. really meaningless. if it happens again Q4 this year or later then it will mean everything though.

Hello all,

Firstly sorry if this has been asked and answered already.

I rooted using modaco r6 method a couple a months back to go from T-mobile to generic HTC ROM.

I have checked to see if the HTC update for 2.2 is coming but it isn't.

Just wondering if this is because I haven't updated a previous update, since my root to generic ROM I have been getting the option to download a 27MB update (I don't have my phone with me so can't check the exact version).

Do I need to apply all previous updates to get 2.2 or can I just update to 2.2

Hope what I am asking is making sense.

Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I know there are a million threads on battery life here and on other forums. But I am curious before I take the dive into the EVO (buying outright without an upgrade).

How bad is the battery life?

and

How wide spread is the screen separation issue?

I intend on buying the EVO and then trading to the EPIC when its released then deciding which to keep for the next year until I do have an upgrade.

Battery life will probably be the key determination for me between the 2, I need every last second of power I can get.

Captivate guys are saying 5% an hour under moderate use 2% under light- I can tolerate that. But its a GSM phone and they typically have better batter life anyway. No one can really tell what the Epic will do until we get one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
If I don't touch my phone and idle it I can get 24+ hours. light/moderate I can get 8+, heavy I pretty much have to keep it plugged in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
I got 2 days on a single charge last weekend, barely used and was basically on a 2 day drinking binge. Probably could have gone a bit longer but I plugged it in first chance I had. I can easily get through a day with medium use. Maybe light in the morning, more medium - heavy use in the afternoon but can still make it home knowing I have some charge. Or if I get sidetracked for a couple hours at the local watering hole I know I'm still safe.

I feel a lot of people want to best their last battery time though, sometimes after a decent day of use I need to juice it for a while before I go out that night. Any decent phone these days, with the things they can do, can be dried out pretty quickly with heavy use. But once you get more into the regular use of the device it is more than suitable, IMO. Not to mention other steps can be taken to make sure you get the best performance out of the phone, battery included.

I've been leaving my GPS on lately, keeping sync constantly on, just to see how big of a hit it will really deal during the day. It's not really noticeable yet. One thing I have noticed though, honestly, is that in the beginning when my phone was off it seemed to really use a lot of battery. But now when not in use it's almost as if the battery takes a very minor hit, if a visible one at all. Went to sleep last night with 70% left and woke up it was reading the same. Responded to emails, sent some texts, checked the weather for no reason, and left it idle for an hour. Still sat at that 70% mark, even though that is a slight estimate in terms of battery charge meter. Might have been nearing more to the 60 but still showed 30% as used.

I just moved back to WinMo after a while on Android, and already I miss the fluidity of the native Gmail and contact apps, and how they sync flawlessly and look so very good..

I would love to see these apps on Windows Mobile, a proper, native Gmail app (not a terrible JAR) which would relinquish the need to rely on the outdated pocket outlook.

Is this feasible?
[General Questions and Answers] tariqa3588:
to my knowledge, there is no gmail application for windows mobile like you're requesting.

However, gmail offers sync for windows mobile email, contacts, and calender. It works flawlessly just like it works on android,

here's instructions on how to get this working, very simple.

I could not add an outside link that'll show you the steps,

but you can just google "google sync for windows mobile" and its right there the first link at the top of the page.

I understand having the gmail that android phones have would be nicer, but it is not available, I don't think google will make it for phones other than their android supported ones.

Good luck:)

I can often use wifi for free, while 2G/3G has a cost per MB. I'm sure many are in the same situation.

When I'm on wifi, I'd like to have e-mails, TimeScape, weather, contacts, etc synced quite often. (As my current settings allow.)

When I switch to 2G/3G, I don't want these apps to sync, unless I ask them to.

Is there an app to control which apps get to use 2G/3G, or even to store different sets of permissions (one set for wifi, another for G)? Or perhaps an app to change sync times for all apps? Or perhaps the "background data" option in google sync has something to do with this?
