Hi all, long time reader of XDA forum with my HTC Diamond, but have now moved onto the Desire and with 2.2 release.

I have a question. I have my work exchange account on my device as well as my personal Blueyonder account and another Virgin one.

When I receive email, I get a notification in the menu bar, but not on the Mail Widget on the homescreen. I assume that you should get one just like with SMS etc? I have tried taking away notification s and ticking them again, all notifications for all accounts are enabled, but I never get the notification on my widget. it is the stock mail widget I am using.

Any ideas?

Sorry Villain rom is down at the moment if you are having trouble getting the wonderful FROYD 1.2.1 here are some links

http://villainrom.jeremygohblog.com/...ase-signed.zip

and

http://villainrom.desean.net/release...ase-signed.zip

These are both for Froyd 1.2.1

OTA Update: FroydVillain 1.2.2 "GPS really needs a kick in the nuts"

VillainROM Updater app finally makes a return to the FroydVillain platform.

New in this update:

•Framework fixes for the GPSLocatorService that fix an issue causing a hang/crash when GPS was obtaining initial fix and location update.

•CPUSpeed no longer supports a screen off profile. See below for details.

•Updated lib_htcril.so to improve GSM switching, -should- also fix the people experiencing GPS+GSM not working.

•Kernel updated to fix some regression bugs in the USB stack, ARM code issues and to prevent the camera app clogging the IO bus.

•All the different OC kernels are now in the OTA app, just enable experimental updates to see them.

This OTA update clears the dalvik cache, as there are updates to the framework, so naturally your phone will take longer to boot.

We no longer support the use of a screen off profile with the interactive governor. It's really not needed. While it may make some difference to battery longevity, the benefits far outweigh the downsides. We're talking -maximum- a loss of an hour, over using a screen off profile. However you get the added benefits of:

Being able to use anything with the screen off without losing performance. For example phone calls, listening to music, etc.

Time for a brave new world of thinking, folks. Get used to the idea that it's better for the governor to accomplish a task as quickly as possible, then clock back down.

The other switch in thinking, is this. It's time we stop trying to work around whatever bull**** problem that apps on the market introduce by being buggy, crap or poorly designed. If we find there's an app or a widget that runs your phone at top clock all night, well, start giving the developer ****. We're no longer going to try and work around issues introduced into the OS by bad applications. Developers need to start taking more responsibility or face people not using their apps anymore.

Screen off profiles are a nasty workaround for this problem and it's going to go away, at least in FroydVillain. Your phone's performance should not be at the mercy of whether the screen is on or not. Having many frequencies in the table is a false economy because, and especially with the

[Nexus One General] Xcite:
Hi

Just wanted to know how warranty is handled with the nexus one bought directly from google: is it activated automatically so I don't need the receipt anymore, do I have to do this myself, is the warranty outside US supported or not? What do I need from the seller beside the device itself? And do I have to activate the device with google? First android phone not from HTC...

Thanks for help.
[Nexus One General] Xcite:
Can no one help me?
[Nexus One General] Karolis:
Not sure if this applies to Nexus One, but I had other HTC devices purchased from eBay and the warranty did apply to them.

They check warranty status via serial number, so you don't really have to have anything else.
[Nexus One General] maddoguk:
Hi

I purchased mine through eBay, my first question before bidding was if they still had the receipt.

If you get a problem tell them it was purchased as a present and they should update the details.
[Nexus One General] DJTaurus:
edit..................................................
[Nexus One General] maxppp:
The nexus one is made by HTC.

Its activated automatically (no receipt needed).

It is tied to the serial # (rather than the owner or an address).

Ring HTC and they will tell you how long it has left. (Think my N1 came with a 2 year warranty)

Has anyone purchased any nexus s from the below seller?

I'd go with buying from Amazon. HTC sells an unlocked version of the N1 at a deal. Not sure if it is TMo or ATT. You might want to check on that. Good luck!
[Nexus One General] mfkr:
got my N1 from ebay. no receipt as it was upgrade from vodafone. I rang htc, gave them imei and they said no problem, I still have regular warranty.
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
With the amount of people who use this, there must be an easier way of setting it up, in terms of all the virtual buttons etc. I tried to set it up a while ago, I though I'd done it ok, so I put Crash Bandicoot on and tried to play it, and it was a nightmare! It just didn't work well at all, I guess I must have gone wrong somewhere. Also to have to do it for each game is a ball-ache.

Is there not a .cab or something that sets it all up for you, so you just have to copy over a game image and away you go?

Sorry if I was a little vague I'm looking for the apk file not the rom itself, just the home app and id like it I. A flashable zip file because I'm not a fan of any of the current home apps out there I like stock just fine but I must have root priveledges.

Bro the .apk IS in the ROM...just take that .apk out and push it to /system/app...but its hero sense, not espresso sense...it prolly won't work without being ported...

[Desire General] streetdaddy:
My phone inexplicably rebooted itself yesterday. After this, ALL of my Home screens were empty. So I went through the laborious process of adding everything in again (because I had no backup of home screens) and then at some point, all the original widgets suddenly came back, but behind the new widgets I'd added. So I ended up with widgets on top of widgets.

Has anyone else experienced this?

FYI I'm using LeeDroid 1.8c

Not like you, but I've seen widgets come back and overlap. Not really a problem though, you can just remove them.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horstborsch:
I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the quality of the gps reception inside a bakcpack.

I would like to log a trail for about 3 hours. And keeping the HD2 in hand for 3 hours could be a bad idea. I would like to place the HD2 inside a backpack of course as closest to the outside as possible. Is there any chance of still getting any acceptable gps reception to log my trail?

I tried that in a small test. I placed the phone in the pocket of my jeans and logged a small distance. But the trail was a little bit misplaced. Drawed over the google maps map my track was not exactly on the street I walked.

Anyone tried that?

If I can get a lock in my house (bottom floor) then there's a good chance in your back pack, only one way to find out for sure, have a quick walk round your block with your back pack on....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horstborsch:
battery should be no problem, I have an external battery pack (Just Mobile Gum Plus). I just want to make sure that this measurement will work. I have only one try. So I need some tips/hints to maximize the gps reception...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horstborsch:
does no one have any experiences in loging trails with this phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bright.Light:
Should work ok! (Use it in my pocket)

However, you say you have an external battery. This means the device is always getting charged, which could increase the temperature of the battery. So, if you want to keep the device running, you should ensure this heat is removed from it (so, don't put it in your sleeping bag...)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
I have used HD2 on long hiking trips and have logged my trails with no problems. Your GPS will get great reception in the outdoors, much better than in cities. A backpack will not affect the GPS signal at all unless you've got it lined with metal!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horstborsch:
Well just tried the backpack thing while going to the supermarket. But the result was quite unsatisfying. The gps signal got lost. THe second try was my jeans pocket. Worked neither.

Where did you exactely put your phone in the backpack and in what direction was it faced?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horstborsch:
Ok thanks for all the answers. I found the solution for my problem.

I used Navicomputer in combination with S2U2. As soon as I hit the power button of my HD2 (forced standby) the GPS reception was lost. Even with the option ind NaviComputer set prevent standby.

But if I just let the phone switch to standby (leave it unattended) it worked.

Can someone explain that to me?

GPS reception in the backpack was good enough...measurement over 2h worked.

The battery lasted more than 3h of gps tracking without any external power.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
Glad to hear you got it working. The GPS probably turns off automatically in standby to save power in the same way that your WiFi connection will automatically disconnect if you leave the phone in standby for long enough. Hope you had a good hike!

Note: Install instructions have been moved to the wiki, please visit there for the latest info

illi's 2.2.2 EXT file for cooks, available from here. Only use if you know what you are doing and know how to cook roms.

Also if you've tried it, please let me know if it works or not and I'll update the package/instruction if needed.

You can manually update to the very latest build/development by downloading the current changeset file from the CODEPLEX Project Page or using this direct link: http://rsstab.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets#.

The files need to simply install and run the tab as it stands are contained within \Build\..., the folders structure shows where each of the files should go (Note: Sense will probably need a reset and the tab must already be added to sense).

Remember this is a development project, so if something doesn't work, then it probably just doesn't work but please post details on the forum if it appears to be an error.

RSS is main app to use on my HD2. (use spb news now)

Are this app using the sense SDK to build?

I think I interesting on this app, will spend some time to have a look if i have.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I expect the supporting app will use sense SDK when a visual interface is required for settings etc, however the part of the project within sense has to be created using manila mode9 and lauc scripts which is different to sense SDK (sense look and feel for .net apps).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Captain_Throwback:
at it again, I see! :)

Hey melt - another great idea.

Curious - are you going to start with this as you did with the FB tab, using HTC's code as a basis? As I'm sure you know, the OBOE Sense has a scrolling RSS Feed on the Home tab, using RSSReaderService.dll as the service that runs it. Is that where you're starting, or are you basing this one all on custom code from the start?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Nope, this time I'm using RSShub :D It leaves all the rss data sitting in ChannelData directory so it's a nice starting point, the RSSUtil.exe reads the xml file and transfers what we want to display from it to registry.

Using the facebook tab as a base I've managed to inject all the info for display via registry (eventually can do the same with the facebook tab itself and rid ourselves of the facebook.dll and display much better info). Might put a bit of strain on the registry but should only need to store the currently displayed info in the registry.

I've not used the OBOE sense feed, can't see how a small feed can give you the info you'd want. Couldn't find anything other than vague screenshots of the hometab. Any good features worth having? ;)

Hopefully we can tie into the notification mechanism and have alerts of new feed items and a cookie widget :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
Hi meltwater,

this is another very good idea. One of the missing links i really need. I will supportthis too for GTX. I hope this will be also a very big success as FB. Go, go, go...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Captain_Throwback:
To be honest, that simple little widget on my Home screen made Sense worth using again for me ;). Here's my very short YouTube video of it working on my Tilt 2:

[youtube]<object width="980" height="765"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eWlyBgICJYg?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eWlyBgICJYg?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="980" height="765"></embed></object>[/youtube]

It's very simple, but it gives you a quick glance of articles in the channels you selected, and if I see one that catches my eye, all I have to do is press the widget, and it opens the article in RSS Hub. I do see the practicality of an entire tab, of course, but I also like the idea of tying the press of the widget to the tab, where the feed can be viewed, rather than directly to RSS Hub, as it is, currently. Just an idea, I guess.

EDIT: YouTube embed code doesn't seem to be working . . . here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWlyBgICJYg
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Cheers, can see what you mean (quite like the android feeds I've seen), although I tend to use RSS for podcast content too so both would work nicely.

So it is tied into RSS Hub too, wonder if there are any command line links we can find (would save programming stuff which is already in there) - update the feeds would be a handy one! Any chance of decompiling the code for the widget?

The RSSHub channel list and feed status is all in xml so it's nice and easy to access the content (decoding the content for the example took an evening and I've probably done it the hard way).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Captain_Throwback:
The "update the feeds" function isn't actually done by the widget; that's through RSS Hub ("Refresh" soft key). There is a reg key to update the feeds automatically, of course. The widget depends on a specific version of RSS Hub (the one from the Oboe), and the Home tab from the Oboe obviously includes additional Manila files than other versions (the ProjectCode reg key must be "OBOE" for the widget to work at all). Is there anything I can upload for you that would help?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
RSS Hub refresh soft key could probably be scripted using mort script to start with, although shouldn't be a big job to implement download of rss data in the RSSUtil.exe (no more than posting to/reading from facebook anyway).

Humm, sounds like it could be doing something similar to me then but from a dll to feed the data into the widget (more efficient but less control for us). It would be interesting to see the manila scripts involved with the widget, but I think that would be a job later on & cookies home tab widgets might be easier to work with.

I have to say I'm excited to see this started. I hope you continue and finish this off properly as it'll be an awesome addition to Sense's collection of tabs :)

The thing I think thats keeping more people from responding, is it is not very clear on whether this is actually working and usable or not (in so many words). Maybe it will help to have the common list of "Working", "To-Do", etc at the top of the thread, so people know what to expect?

Can you share with me your EXT package? Mine is still giving the same kind of error message when I spent much time testing previously.

I've tested the 3441 and 3514 build and still getting the same kind of errors I reported previously. Only when I load your test data and then try to read new data will I be able to see anything without error. It's very frustrating for me as I've probably spent the most time trying this but have never get it to work properly that you had designed it.
