eBuyer is great!

I ordered an X10i unbranded/unlocked from SimplyElectronics.net for £369.99. Still trying to get refund; but because of section 75 I will get my money back thank me lucky stars! :D

But probably not the interest on CC I am being charged but it's only a small hit so not too bad.... :rolleyes:

I ended up with X10i brand new, unbranded, & unlocked from eBay (even though I would rather use eBid) for £275 inc postage and it was delivered the next day :cool:

RRP is still around £499 in UK???

I did warn SimplyElectronics.net that if they repaid me that day (day 25!) I would let matters rest but if not I would make it a goal to do serious damage to their reputation (hence me typing simplyelectronics.net out so many times) ie I will alter my sig to trounce them on the many forums that I utilise, I will list a similar post to above on those aforementioned forums, I will email the near 300 contacts in my phone with a similar warning, I will create a webpage dedicated to bad mouthing them etc etc

any other ideas to get the last laugh gratefully recieved! ;)

Last night I was checking out Cyanogen's web site and I came across this:

Bluetooth Voice Commands Missing in CM6?

Hello,

One of the newer features that I liked so far in CM-6 was the ability to long press my bluetooth headset action button which resulted in a voice telling me to say a command. This was much better than the original phone voice dialer, which requires manual intervention to pick a number from its list of guesses after you speak, and which offers no voice prompt to let you know when it's ready.

Well, as of upgrading to CM-6.0 from the 8-25 nightly, the bluetooth/headset dialer is gone and when I long press my bluetooth headset button It's back to the old phone voice dialer which requires manual intervention to place a call and offers no voice prompt. How do I get the bluetooth dialer back?

I have attached the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk from CM-6 release for easy downloading.

***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk

The OLD VoiceDialer.apk can be found under /system/app

Mine is working great!

Any questions, PM me....

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris General] gohamstergo:
my bluetooth headset can now operate the voice commands, however, after a command is given, Voice Dialer FCs.

[Droid Eris General] TDianna:
Did you remove the old VoiceDialer.apk?
[Droid Eris General] hybridowner:
Also, don't forget to change the permissions on the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk after yoo move it to /system/app.

This is working great for me, back to the way it was before the update!
[Droid Eris General] mjb413:
so as far as the instructions:

***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk

is install the new file is just copying it then pasting it into the system/app folder using root explorer, longpress on app and change permissions to allow all. then reboot.

EDIT: apparently yes, my bt headset works perfectly with voice dialer now. thank you.
[Droid Eris General] jmastron:
This is great -- restores the BT voice dialing functionality that should have been stock in the Eris from the start :-)

Is the source for this APK available? I wonder if it would be possible to modify to add an optional "confirmation" step:

User: "Call Jim Somename"

Phone: "Calling Jeff Someothername, is that correct?"

User: "No"

Could certainly be fancier, like presenting several options, but the above would be sufficient to prevent misdialing people you don't mean to call in other area codes, etc. That's my main hesitation to use it right now; my wife's name, in particular, seems to mismatch to other names often.

I haven't done much Android development yet, but I'd be interested in poking at this code.
[Droid Eris General] TDianna:
I do not know but I can give you a link to Cyanogen's post if you would like....

[Droid Eris General] chefrd:
I remove the old voicedialer. I copied over to system/app change the perms and reboot. when long pressing the bluetooth the dialer comes up but never prompts. I tried renaming the file. I tried just an install. that worked once but FC verytime after.

What am i doing wrong
[Droid Eris General] Abrasher:
Thanks for this
[Droid Eris General] drjim:
I can't believe that Google has worse technology than MS on this! MS Voice Command is far superior.

I tried vlingo with mixed results.

Will try this.
[Droid Eris General] drjim:
Just installed on my Aria running Liberated 2.2 and it works great!

BTW, I couldn't for the life of me delete the old VoiceDialer.apk using a file explorer, so I just took a shot and installed this Voice Dialer, so no real need as far as I can tell to go through the hassles of the instructions above.

Many thanks.
[Droid Eris General] trkdrvr:
I tried.this but I keep getting a parsing error ???? I'm a noob have no clue what that means..lol
[Droid Eris General] Johnston212:
I realize that this is a bit of a dead post, but do you think this apk would work on a Samsung Captivate? I'm currently running with Perception 10.3 and Speedmod kernel, but for some reason the BT Voice Dialer has decided to stop working and is continually stuck at Starting Up.
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
I'm trying to get this to work on my Aria running FR0008 but no dice. Even using Root Explorer I simply cannot get either the original Dialer.apk deleted or the replacement 09SEPDialer.apk installed.

What am I doing wrong? I REALLY want the proper Bluetooth dialer in this ROM as I use a headset often and at the moment I prefer it to the Cyanogen ROMS.
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
Have you tried this? Download the 09Sep-VoiceDialer.apk to your computer. Rename it VoiceDialer.apk and place it in your tools directory of SDK. Connect your phone to PC. Open a command prompt window and navigate it to your tools directory of SDK. Type adb remount. Then type adb push VoiceDialer.apk /system/app. Then adb reboot. Be certain to take not to the caps in the file name as well so it will overwrite the one that's already in place on your phone. Hope this helps :D
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
That sounds very helpful, only problem is I have no idea about SDK and ADB. Is there a really abbreviated way of getting me up and running with this?
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
Try here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

There's instructions for installation and the downloads. Everything you should need :)
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
Awesome, I'll try giving that a whirl later this evening. Thanks for the pointer.
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
So, I gotta be honest, I just simply do not have the technical know how to get this working. I've downloaded and installed all relevant files but can't even seem to get the phone connected.

Here's what I'd love to be able to do, simply replace the VoiceDialer.apk in the Aria FR008 ROM - which does not support Bluetooth voice dialing with this one that apparently does.

I have tried unzipping the FR008 ROM and replacing the file and rezipping. When I go to install it from card in recovery mode it immediatly crashes. I'm seeing that the FR008 zip is "signed" and guess that I'm missing doing something important here, resigning either the whole ROM or just the file?

Can anyone please help me out here as I'm really struggling with this.
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
Yeah... if you unzip it you will need to sign it when you zip it in order to flash it. Try opening to rom with 7zip or winrar and just drag and drop the new one into the zip to replace the old one. Don't unzip it.
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
So by not unzipping and just opening, I circumvent the need to sign?

*Sent from my HTC Aria using Tapatalk*
[Droid Eris General] woodbane:
You sir.....ARE THE MAN!!!!!! This worked!

Simply renamed the file, opened the ROM, drag and dropped, reflashed ROM - paired BT headset - WORKS!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
That is correct ;)

No problem.. Glad to help :D

[Droid Incredible General] jermaine151:
Hello All! Forever I've wanted my mail combined in the stock app, but Yahoo! IMAP wouldn't work over wi-fi without using K9, etc. I tried again and have success thanks to mtwebster's git commit: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email/commits/froyo

If you want your Yahoo! mail in the stock email (vanilla email client, not htc) app, add your IMAP account manually as usual and use the following incoming and outgoing servers:

Incoming server: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

I've tested it and it works great for me! I now have a combined mailbox with my Exchange (work) mail and my yahoo mail and can access both via Wi-Fi or 3G!

Enjoy
[Droid Incredible General] SoCalSpecialist:
i dont know about the "next" command in ur first string..but ive always used :

INCOMING : imap.mail.yahoo.com

OUTGOING : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

im sure ur way works..but theres an alternative if the first way doesnt work for anyone for some odd reason
[Droid Incredible General] jermaine151:
Hey SoCal. I saw your other post about ordering your Dinc. I think you'll love it! Welcome!

As for the servers, the ones you listed are the ones I had and they will NOT work via Wi-Fi (except if using K9 mail and I hate that ugly @ss icon :) and wanted one mail client and one inbox for all of my mail) but work fine over 3G. That's why I had to find the others. Give it a test and you won't even be able to add your account to the stock client while connected to a wireless access point. It will keep telling you "The username or password are not correct". When I'm at home or at work, I'm always connected to wireless, so not being able to get my mail is unacceptable.

Thanks for the reply, though!
[Droid Incredible General] SoCalSpecialist:
awesome catch then eh? kudos on that!

and thanks for the welcome. being on an HDPI device is gonna be a bit of a learning curve as far as development goes..but im sure with a bit of the forum help ill be able to find my way just fine.
[Droid Incredible General] cantare:
not working for me...

This is the regular plain-jane HTC mail app? I tried using these server names to set up my regular yahoo (not y-plus) account...left SSL and default ports unchanged. I had to switch to 3G-only even to get past the incoming server page in manual setup. I got the account set up, but with WiFi active I get the same old errormsg. :confused:

Is yours still working? I wonder what we did differently.
[Droid Incredible General] jermaine151:
No, that was on the vanilla email client when I was using Ruby. I tried with the htc client and got the same issue that you did. I might have to restore my ruby backup and see if it still works and what the ssl settings are.

EDIT: I just verified that this works on the vanilla email client, via wifi, with security set to none but won't work on the htc client.

There's several hundred apps to shrink pictures.

I use "Small Pic", because it lets you email the pictures directly from the app. I'm sure there are dozens that are better.

Hint: The market has a function called "search." In the search box, you can type in "compress photo" and the results will surprise you.

I took the battery to some shops, they've tested de voltage and the battery is Ok.

If it does, I'm using fireburned 6.5 rom.

The phone is working fine, but the original battery is running low real quickly, that's why I bought the new battery.

When I try to use the Cameron Sino Baterry, The led indicator blinks orange, what according to users manual means that the battery is working under higher or lower temperature than it should be.

I wish it was something with the rom, cause there's no possibility to change the battery (I'm brazilian, and the shop is in Hong Kong).

Sorry for bad english, hope you guys are able to understand.

hey peeps

just bought a 32gb sd card for my hero and began transferring files.

the idiot that i am i accidently disconnected thinking it had finished transferring and the sd card became unreadable

i reformatted it in windows 7 disk management and it only shows as a 8mb partition.

i tried deleting the partition but it wont let me. i have also tried windows xp disk management and also partition manager pro but it freezes and crashes

i loaded the windows xp setup disk and managed to delete the partition but still shows as a 8mb disk

im ripping my hair out as it was such a stupid mistake

any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly apreciated

thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch General] alexluckett:
Will it let you resize the 8mb partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Symondo10:
Sadly not. In the windows xp setup it shows as a 8mb device even though I managed to delete the partition :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Symondo10:
Oh ive also tried formatting it using the clockworkmod recovery. Its unable to mount the card
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven_belfast:

Why not use adb ?

See the following link for more help :

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

Use the following code in recovery mode to inform you on any parts that mite all ready be on the card,

adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Symondo10:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
DL a program called GParted, boot into it and do some low-level formatting. That should do the trick.

Yeah this would be better as more user friendly with a nice gui to use,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jermaine151:

I'd say gparted or any other low level formatting tool would work nicely.

Nope. Gparted wouldn't even see it. I ended up getting a refund from eBay. Oh well.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Civelek:
Hello everybody!

I just bought HTC TP2 (not new) The exact model is PPC6875US.

I have some general questions about it. The guy said that the phone is unlocked. I put my SIM card ( bulgarian gsm career ) but I cant find network. The phone says - "No Service" and I am not able to chose network manually - but I have some in "Set Networks". My career is also there.

So here is the question. Should I change my radio to be able to get roaming here (in USA) and then to change it again then I come back to Bulgaria ?

The current software is:

ROM 2.01.573.3

Radio 2.18.00WV

PRL 15088

PRI 1.63_027

General question - my phone should be CDMA & GSM , so which HardSPL should I use ?

I am sorry if the questions are stupid but I was reading the forum threats last 2 days and I got very confused :/

Thank you

P.S. This is my first WM phone, so any help will be welcome :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
ok, first off, be very careful when flashing radios to make sure you pick the correct type ! (CDMA or GSM) You can permanently brick your phone by flashing the wrong type of radio.

It sounds like you have a CDMA phone, but to double-check, have a look at the model number, which is written underneath the battery. If it's a CDMA phone then it will be "RHOD400" or "RHOD500". If it is indeed a CDMA phone, then even though there's a SIM card slot and the phone can talk to GSM networks, you must *only* flash CDMA radios. You also need to use CDMA ROMs and CDMA HardSPL.

Right now you're in the wrong forum if you have a CDMA phone. Go into the CDMA sub-forum and you'll find HardSPL, radios and ROM links under there, and you should be able to find better advice about how to use a GSM network on your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
This isn't ROM development. Should be moved.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Seems like a reasonable question for this forum to me, just that it should probably be either in the radio sticky thread or the HardSPL sticky thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Of course it's a reasonable question, but not for this forum :)

This should be posted in the General Rhodium section.

hi all

my htc touch hd is very slow

the process is about 47% all the time

and after reset is about 37%

i think its steel slow

and another question is about the clock

sometimes the clock show bad time

and after couple hours is fix it self

someone know why its happen?

thanks a lot!

Hi M-BE,

Are you still on the stock rom?

Take my suggestion and others and flash one of the excellent custom roms.

I have an energy rom on mine and it is a world of a difference.

Read the guideline on how to put a stock custom rom on first!!

If you follow the steps it is really easy! This is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

For the time issue that can be different things. Like some (gps) software changing timezones etc.

Try other roms first but .... flashing is very addictive ;-)

but im new in this

after i will do what you gave me on the link

and what this link do exactly?
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Ok start reading this thread [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]

Ok, will try to explain in a couple of sentences.

HTC locked the devices so you could only install official ones and you need to unlock that part. It is a bootloader thing so it has nothing to do with locked to a provider or so.

There are 3 things that I know of, correct me guys, that can be flashed.

1) bootloader = if you used the hacked one you never have to look back except for warranty. This one is very very very very ...... important before you start flashing

2) rom = or opererating system with software included

3) radio = controls the internal stuff like GPS, GSM receiver etc

2 and 3 are sort of independant of each other, so you can flash a rom and you will still have the same radio

There is definitely a lot of room for improvement in the AI and general optimization, but I really want to make sure I get any stability issues cleared up before I go digging through that code again, I'm still open to criticism/suggestions, though!

[Android Apps and Games] m2tt:
Does it hang during gameplay itself or during the map loading screen? I'm halfway through a complete re-write of the AI that I hope will improve the framerate (right now the pathfinding alone takes something like 60% of the G1's CPU)

If you have the barcode scanner or goggles app you can scan that image which translates to a market link, or just search for Pirate Skirmish on the market
