Your wish has been answered...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I know it has. I switched over on release day and never looked back. Very polished for a beta app.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrackman:
PocketCloud does not seem to function after only two successful logins (very cool when it worked). I don't know if it is a limited demo thing or it broke (can't find any mention of limitations . . . ).

I love TeamViewer (used it to help family with computer problems before) but I can't get it to run on my Dell Streak running Froyo (always comes up ForceClose).

Will have to try VNC and see how that works for me.
[Captivate General] Qmotion:
Since Captivate has GPS I was wondering if an app or hack for Xm Radio might exist or work with the phones??? Has anyone tried it???
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
You need to root and allow sideloading or push .apk using adb.

I rooted and changed settings to allow sideload. Then used email from Sirius to get application.
[Captivate General] Qmotion:
Once you get the app from Xm Radio do you have to register your phone as a XM device and pay or will you be able to get the programming free?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
You need to add premium online service. If you have an account, it's like $2.40/month.
[Captivate General] Qmotion:
Ok, thanks.

I wonder just how well it works considering the GPS issues we seem to have for now.
[Captivate General] joshw:
works great for me, I don't know why they don't put the app in the market though. Rooted my phone the first day I had it specifically for this reason. Dosen't seem to slow down the phone at all while you're listening, either. The GPS issus don't have anything to do with the operation of the app - it's basically just a client for XM/Sirius online so it uses your data connection, no satellites involved. You will need the $3/month Premium Online Listening package to listen from your phone, like someone mentioned.

Something I noticed recently is that although it will switch between 3g and WiFi data automatically, if I'm going in and out of WiFi a lot (like when I mow the lawn) it will begin to drop out - just turn the WiFi off and you're good to go. Keep an eye on your data usage if you don't have an unlimited plan, though.

I do have a small gripe - when I listen to XM online on my computer, it's only about 5 seconds behind my home (satellite) unit. On the phone, it's literally about a minute, even on WiFi. The Blackberry app has the same issue. Kind of annoying, but it's not the end of the world.

Here's the link to the download page:

I can't post outside links. :( Google "XM android" and it should be the first search result.
[Captivate General] Qmotion:
Thanks. I have Xm Radio in my car. I thought it might be nice on the phone too.

I'm not sure about the $36 a year since there is so much free listening out there that's simular. I find myself only listening to 2 channels when I'm in the car.....lol.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
I don't have the app but I can say 99.9% that it doesn't use GPS for anything. It uses 3G data to stream the stations to you.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Hmm... allow me to help here:

The GPS receiver in the phone has NOTHING to do with receiving XM Radio. Yes, the XM Radio you have in your car does receive satellite signals, however it is unrelated to the receiver in your phone. Your phone uses the Cell Network to stream XM Radio, if such an app exists, and it would certainly cost money.

Clearer?
[Captivate General] skinien:
When we get flash support with Froyo, we should be able to stream through their website.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
While I can confirm you can login to the player this way, I was unable to get the stream. Probably doesn't like the browser, dunno.
[Desire General] Bicklp:
after a nightmare of trying to downgrade from a 2.2 upgrade that i rushed into

Im now currently on

SLCD Screen Desire

HTC 2.1-update1 the t2 SLCD HTC RUU

ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1 SLCD

Hboot 0.83

rooted with unrevoked

anyway my question is

If i update to 2.2 OTA now will i lose my root?

If so how can i get to 2.2 on the setup i have and keep my root.

Im fairly new at this so any advice would be great...I just now the SLCD screen is causing problems when trying to do things the normal way

Thanks
[Desire General] teppic74:
All official updates will remove root.

The only way to run froyo rooted is to install a rooted froyo ROM. You can install that with your custom recovery.
[Desire General] Bicklp:
Thanks. Any suggestions.

I've found lots on search but would like a good suggestion

A link would be great. Tried opendesire but got stuck on boot screen

Cheers

If you just want froyo but rooted then this:

[Desire General] Myshkinbob:
I had the same situation after doing the blind-root procedure on my SLCD desire, and so far i've only tested...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663

which is the official HTC 2.2 with root support, busybox, openvpn, ext4, wifi-n, and optional A2SD+.

It works fine with the SLCD screen, and i'm probably going to keep it till the official HTC kernel source is released. :)

The procedure is install the latest radio with the clockworkmod recovery console's install zip from sd card option, reboot via menu (an installer graphic pops up after this reboot), then once that's completed, install the main rom via the same recovery install zip option.

P.S. i tried opendesire first and got caught in a boot loop too, i think due to the lack of an ext3/4 partition on my SD.
[Shift General] xavier_kay:
Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with this problem. I recently got a Shift X9501 from China, it is already liberated with WM6 working (it has Start menu, internet explorer, USB Tools, etc.). However, the only thing I couldn't find is the Internect sharing application. It doesn't show up in the Start -> Programs folder nor can I find it in the Windows folder. I was testing the 3G connection on the Shift using my iPhone SIM card, and it only worked on the WinMo side not the Vista side. I called HTC and AT&T customer services and was told that it was because my SIM card won't allow desktop Windows to use the 3G service. So I'm guessing my only solution is to use the Internet Sharing. Please, anyone could give me a hand on this? Thx!!
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Internet sharing is possible. There is nothing that you need to do or run on the WM side.

Internet sharing can only be done from the Windows side as wifi and bluetooth is only accessible there, for connection to your external device, e.g. laptop or iphone.

Check this thread for instruction on internet sharing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488872&highlight=sharing

If it doesn't work then you may need to check your windows services to check that the internet sharing service is enabled.

Then it should work.
[Shift General] xavier_kay:
Hi Flanimal, thanks for the reply. But I don't think that's what I am meaning. From what I learned from the forum and other sources, I think the original Shift should come with an application called internet sharing in Snapvue even without liberation, and it can share the 3G connection from Snapvue to Vista. The application is also a standard one for WM6. I was wondering since mine is of model X9501 and it's already liberated when I got it. I doubt is it possible that the liberation deleted that function? Please help if you have any idea, a great many thanks!
[Shift General] xavier_kay:
I got a partial solution here by myself, and am writing it here in case anyone has similar problem. I tried to download an application named ICS Control 0.21, and copied the required IPNat.dll to the windows directory, and it turned out this way won't work as it told me loading the NAT driver failed. Then I tried to copy the IntShrUI.exe and intshare.dll to the windows directory (which are official WM6 files downloaded from somewhere else in this forum), and they also didn't work, and when I run the internet sharing application (IntShrUI.exe), it prompted that the connection could not be established with unknown reason. I then tried to backup my ROM and flash with a new one from the forum, and I failed and the SnapVue was dead. Then I found a tread in the forum telling me how to hard reset the SnapVue, and restored to the original state when I got the Shift. I thought it was really the original state, but this time the IntShrUI.exe worked! Vista is now connected with SnapVue and used it as an internet connection (later I did some registry work and the problem occured again, which forced me to hard reset my Shift again). However, the problem is that the connection is still restricted to local access only. I would guess that this is still my SIM card's fault, since it is for iPhone, and both AT&T and HTC people believed it won't work for desktop windows like Vista. I'm about to give up further exploring on this, and maybe I'll get a SIM card for laptop to have a try. Still, if anyone has any good solution for this, please reply to this thread. Any help will be appreciated.

Did anybody tried the new htc sync 3.0 with htc hero on android 2.1? They say on htc official site that it's working on htc devices with android 2.1 but on web it's said that this update is just for htc wildfire. I cannot download it for a trial for the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rapsass:
I think I got the answer and I will wait. By the way, HTC sync really sucks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Don't use it then! oh and it's just for the htc wildfire for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
It should work for Hero too. Just not on Vanilla builds obviously ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] peterc10:
That looks so much better than the old sync. Did you delete Sync 2 before installing? Did you have any problems or was it nice and easy? Are you on a stock ROM?

Duh ..... just looked at your sig - please ignore last question
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
I wasn't using any sync before hand but it's always wise to uninstall anything you have application wise before installing the new versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Not true - if the application is written correctly it shouldn't matter whether you have an old version installed. It is incredibly rare than a new version of software will break older ones unless they explicitly state that it will (i.e. there has been a major code/structure change).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chachi:
It is not a Microsoft update, so it won't break older code. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
It's not true. Well on forums I see people doing 'upgrades' to applications and I see people face problems all the time doing it this method.

Theres plenty apps there has been issues with including java/vmware/flash beta ;) ...... et al.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
When you consider how many of millions of people update their software like this and out of that you might get a few thousand with problems you're still talking a very minor amount. There is no need to uninstall every app you want to update. This would take ages. I don't care if

you

want to do it for every app you update but don't recommend this to others as its just going to put people updating software when they should be.

And i've never had a problem updating java, vmware or flash (even using the beta versions) from older versions to newer ones. Java used to leave behind the old ones but it never negatively affected a system (aside from filling up the hard drive). VMWare is worthless anyway (get VirtualBox - support the open source community). Flash is made by Adobe - of course its going to have issues - they make software for Mac's then break the software and release it for PC. Having said this I very rarely have an issue with software updates unless it is explicitly stated on their website that it requires you to uninstall before updating.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] sbsxaid:
Dont hurry!

Hey guys,

The HTC Sync DOES and DO work with HTC Hero.

I did uninstall the previous version and drivers and installed the new one. Yes it does tell you that its not recognized and the HTC Sync is not found on your computer when the phone trying to search for it. But I left it connected to go and search on Google to find out why, Guess what .. It run by itself telling me that I have Hero phone and what I should call it!!

Now I am syncing my stuff and its just working fine, just leave it for 2-3 minutes and it show up by itself :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Thats probably because its installing drivers and detecting the correct phone et al. Glad it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Oh, forgot to mention..... when u plug in your usb select sync from the menu...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven_belfast:
Greetings folks,

I am able to pick up mu phone ok but failes to see the sd card,

See the attached image for more info,

Rebooted phone and computer and also removed and replaced sd card.

Any one got any thing to help with this ?

Ps i am using SenseHero B5.1
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
It might not work with that ROM, try asking someone to try it who is using that ROM to see if they get the same effect.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven_belfast:
Yeah thought this so going to try the orange 2.1 rru,

Will report back later tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alexander13:
I've tested it with VR12, it doesn't work. Tried it with 2.1 RUU and it worked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Looks like something might be stripped out of custom ROMS possibly. You did select 'HTC Sync' when you plugged the phone in didn't you?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven_belfast:
Greetings folks,

Tested with orange 2.1 rru and did not work,

O well back to sensehero then ha ha,

Regards

Steven
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alexander13:
Yep. It recognized it in less than 2 seconds and started to sync. I'll root the official 2.1 RUU and try again. Is it possible HTC Sync checks for the bootloader?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
It must work with RUU, might be it can't be seeing the sync for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gugi_sat:
Hi

I am running a VR12 as well and confirm that its NOT working

so VR12 developer have to look at this issue i believe

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Would recommend you use the standard VillainROM bug report features (on their forums) when they come back up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] itandy:
Unlike many others said, I just installed HTC Sync 3.0 and it works with my Hero with VR 12 perfectly. Before installing HTC Sync 3, I just uninstalled the old 2.0.33. Everything was done without even a reboot.

Performance-wise, the sync process is faster and my Hero is recognized much faster than before once the USB cable is connected.

But there're bad sides in this version. There's no Repair function and neither is the option to sync manually. Also, there's no report after the sync process.

So you can actually decide if you need to install this one if the old version is working fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gugi_sat:
Hi to you all

I got it running now as I un-installed the HTC Sync Setup_3.0.5387 and installed the new version HTC SYNC setup_3.0.5422

it is working like charm now

I accidentally deleted the camera shortcut on my start menu and now it wont launch on sense home (the part where you can put your own short cuts).

How do I get the camera shortcut back on the start menu?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
The camera.exe file is located in the windows folder on your device. There is a few ways you can get it back into your start menu but this would be my suggestion.

1: Navigate to the \windows folder on your device (either through active sync on your computer or through file explorer)

2: Locate camera.lnk file

[Desire General] betchado:
I have a Telstra Desire. Had it a few weeks now, been fine.

Last few days it has started freezing when plugged into the USB on my laptop.

When it happens it totally freezes. When I unplug it the charge light stays on and everything is totally frozen. Only way to get it back is a battery pull.

It seems random and can happen within a minute or hours of plugging in.

Has done it in charge only and also hard disk mode. I have tried rooting and installing a new ROM (latest T-Mod) and it still does it. I'm using the SD card supplied.

Happens with no extra apps installed.

Anyone else had this problem ? any ideas ?
[Desire General] light-jedi:
Bumping This as i also have a telstra desire and this issue has started to occur.
[Desire General] gmarcoux:
It was happening with mine but I figured out that it was because I was using an aftermarket charger. Once I switched back the original one I no longer had the issue
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegas_Sirk:
hey guys Im a new to the whole rooting and flashing custom roms thing. I love my N1 and I figured it was time to start playing with it more then the usual out of the box customizations.

I rooted the phone using the one click root app:

(cant post the link since Im a new user)

and then installed the Rom Manager.

I then installed the ClockworkMod recovery like it says to do.

Then I performed a Backup of the Current Rom using the Rom Manager

then Downloaded CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 along with the Google Apps add on.

once the download completed it says do you want to do a wipe and also asks option to back up current rom. I checked both boxes and the phone boots into recovery mode.

Now this is where Im confused on what to do. At first I wasnt sure it the Rom manager would auto load the new rom, so I let it sit for like 10 min and realized it wasnt doing anything. Then I pressed the power button and volume at this point it gives me 3 options ..

1) reboot

2) Wipe

3) load update.zip

First I did a reboot ... which did nothing but re boot the phone, then I applied the update.zip and it failed and then I went to the Cyanogen Mod wiki page

on there is said to: "Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. "

so I did that and then tried to install the update.zip ... which failed ... and basically erased my phone like the noob I am :p

So can someone please help me and tell me what Im doing wrong? also I installed titanium back up this time around to back up my apps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
Sounds like ClockworkMod Recovery did not flash. Try flashing it again in Rom Manager.

Should have been posted in Q&A

Thank you. Ill try that.

Sorry for not posting in Q&A as i didnt know about it ... Im new here so please forgive me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Might be Clockworkmod ROM Manager...

I had all sort of problems with 2.1.0.5 and can't use any of the backups I created with it (they just hang when I try to restore them).

Everything seems OK with 2.1.0.6 though...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegas_Sirk:
I reflashed Clockworkmod and that fixed it ... it flash the CyanogenMod rom, but once I was on there the radio wouldnt work, to I went back in re flashed the recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
You had issues too? I couldn't restore any of my backups the other day as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Yeah, I was having random problems with my backups... took me a while to realize it was only my newer backups.

Finally worked out that it was the version of ROM Manager. Older versions work great, as does the latest...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
CM requires the 4.06.00.12_7 radio. Go to settings - about and look at the baseband version, that is your radio version. Also keep in mind most ROM's will not setup your APN, you will have to do that manually. I thought CM did, but I have not used it in a while. I am addicted to Enomther's ROM.

That is the cable I'm talking about. Anyone try that with the EVO? I don't want to spend $30 just to find out that it doesn't work. And yes, I know that the EVO has a micro-HDMI port. I want composite out, not HDMI. Any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
Bottom of their ad says "no":

"Please note: This will NOT work for any other micro-USB HTC phones, it will only work for HTC Droid Incredible."
[EVO 4G Accessories] -viperboy-:
No, it won't. The phone is HDMI out, not tv out. Sure, you might be able to plug this into the charger area, but you will get nothing out of the phone.

You're best bet is to look for something that will convert HDMI to composite.
