Working well. Fast, reliable, good!

FroyoStone Sense - V3.1][Kernel: darkstone]

2.14.50.xxx radio

Stock WM ROM

Only problems so far:

-Occasional lag when waking (only with wifi on? testing)

-Occasional "upload freeze" of 3G/H (only when switching from wifi to 3G/H?) Easy fix by switching data off & on

-Camera flash timing

-After taking pic, grey translucent window with small missed call icon pops up

-Light sensor doesn't seem to be working

-Notification window "sticks" - e.g. I get K9 notification, open notification window, touch K9 icon - icon disappears and K9 opens *behind* the notification window which stays open

-Slight crackling/clipping in earpiece during incoming calls

None of these are deal breakers by any stretch! This build is great so far. I'm going to try updating to hastarin r7.1 to see if it helps at all...

:D so i got a g2 for free with tmobile. so i pre odered my tombile g2 for my third line that i had and was able to upgrade. i deced to upgrade using the eip plan, they sent me the conformation email i signed it sent it back in.. so today i checked the status as people are starting to recive the phone. and my order come to find out has not gone through. so i start *****ing lol and end up with the phone being completley comp! now this is after an hour long argument over why the only phone that works is my nexus one that i bought outside of tmobile and that i did not buy it from them and there phones suck. so i got one for free very happy! also got my girl my touch slide changed for another brand new device becuse hers was acting up and a promise that if it happens agin she can pick any phone for free. and on top of that i got a 25 doller bill credit so all in all great start to my moring and thank you tmobile:)

I managed to persuade the finance manager at work that they had to pay the new "work phone" desire THC Z. My argument was that I use it as navigason and information about customers. (Truck Driver)
[Nexus One General] dskyers:
sorry about the no peroids lol....... no eip is equipment instaltion plan i think thats how you spell it.. what it does is breaks phone payment into three months so that way you dont have to pay so much up front. ive done it twice before and it a good plan it adds like an extra 70 buck to your bill for three months kind of like a tmobile credit card.. every one that has tmobile has this and you all start of with 500 dollers credit..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FractalSphere:
I had a situation arise recently after my Froyo 3.26.651.6 (Rooted) update... Several full nandroid backups and titanium backups later, and then deleting some of those big files, the SD card started mounting read-only a few hours after I was done and fully updated/rooted. :confused:

So what happened was I copied everything off (finally), formatted it with FAT32 (non-quick), threw it back in the phone, copied everything back on the card (minus internet cache files, etc) and it is all working great since.

My question is this - is there a better format for the EVO than to use Fat32? Obviously it reads it, but should I have used the phone itself to format the card? What format would have have produced?

Thanks!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muleskinner:
I'm wondering if anyone else ever came across this weird issue. I am on the Rogers network with a HTC Dream. I've tryed several ROMs and none make a difference. The issue is, I lose 3G connection and my SIM card gets corrupted. I have a LG GW620 and I used it for a long time and this never happened. What happens is I totally lose 3g capability and I can't get it on any other phone unless I get another SIM card activated. I've had this happen to me twice now and it ONLY happens when I used my HTC Dream for couple weeks it seems. Could this be due to that my phone is using roms or is my phone just mangled? I'm just thinking of smashing this phone with a hammer as it is useless to me if my 3G connection is gone.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

IIf you currently have radio 3.22.26.17, please find and download the 3.22.20.17 radio image and flash via fastboot 'fastboot flash radio-3.22.20.17.img'

The image is on bcrooks server.

Please note the imei-sv is 3 in 3.22.26.17 but 2 in 3.22.20.17, this means if you are a rogers/Fido customer with a rogers branded dream you will be flagged by rogers for not having the e911 rom.. and thus they will disable your data if you have not filled the wavier. To reactive a call to the call center is usually required (preferably on a phone other than the cell in question)

Note the radio has nothing to do with the e911 issue, as the bug was in android not the radio.. so if you have signed the wavier or are not a rogers customer feel free to use 3.22.20.17.. of if preferred downgrade to 2.x via fastboot

(its unknown if the lattest 2.x or the older 3.x provides better signal on the Rogers network .. but the newer 3.x has problems in every rom.. including the official one HTC/rogers forced on everyone, sad since the bug was just in the Java code of one file on the phone in /system.. nothing to do with the radio)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muleskinner:
Alright just let me get this straight.

So they are flagging me because of my phone, or radio? I am a Rogers Customer, have been since 2004 I believe. How would I go about getting data to not dissapear on my phone again? I had just bought this phone used and rooted it and put on a custom OS. I'm not exactly sure which radio I have at the moment, but if i update to 3.22.20.17 would that fix the issue if I got rogers to re-activate my data?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
What radio do you have now
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muleskinner:
I believe this one is on there.

Radio Image update 2.22.23.02
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muleskinner:
So if I update to Radio 3.22.26.17 via Fastboot and call the support line to re-activate my data or w.e that will work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Not quite that simple your current rom wont work with the 3.x radio as is..

I recommend one of two things..

1) goto http://rogers.com/htcwaiver and sign it.. then call rogers saying you signed the waiver and want data back.. if it fails tell them that..

2) if this is a rogers branded dream and I assume it is unroot to the stock e911 patched rogers rom and start from scratch on android 1.5 .. this is not optimal and I highly recommend option 1.. and you still may need to call after to get data back http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams#Returning_to_Stock_Rogers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muleskinner:
Huge low blow in Rogers case. Plus I have to call them cause they say my number does not exist when I put it in that Waiver. What a joke in my opinion. :eek:

Thanks for the information though. Much appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the14thgod:
I really like the red battery, 3g, wireless, and sat notifications from the Rule the Air theme. Would it be possible to package those in a zip and update? Or is there a simpler way to do this? I have basic photoshop skills but I don't really know the ADB program at all. I basically got it installed a while ago and haven't touched it since.

I'm currently using the Incredible Revolution theme if that matters...

Thanks!

Justin

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Belial:
Hi all,

I've got a brand new T-Mobile desire (picked up a few days ago), but i'm having problems getting it unlocked :( I've tried mobileunlocked.co.uk (with their supernew search) as well as htcsimunlock, but neither could find the code (but have refunded).

Is there any other option? Or is the phone just too new to have the code on a DB yet?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sr1ks:
Why not ask t-mobile for an unlock, they charge 15£ and can definately get you can unlock code ? though it might take a bit longer

Uninstall the old first. I have a thread in the app forum with details.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
I've been trying to install the apk, but it force closes anytime you try to access the contacts app. I like the one from the Captivate because you can swipe the contact name right to call, and left to message directly. I don't like the Fascinates, which shows the text/call buttons when you swipe the contact to the right.

Any ideas out there?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
I would also love to have this
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Irishpride:
I have not seen this, does anyone have a video or a link to a video on the Captivates contacts app?

Sent From My Galaxy S
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
It works like when you are in the fascinates messaging app. Swipe your finger right on a messaging thread and it place a call, left and it opens a message. On the vibrant it will do this in the contacts app.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
Bump.........
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dboss713:
The stock contacts app will do this also. Swiping right brings up an envelope and phone for their respective uses.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
We're aware but that's not what we want. I want like the Captivate and Vibrant where I swipe right and it places a call and left opens a message.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
Correct, this is the functionality I'm looking for. The contacts app on the fascinate is also a nice touch, but its an extra click. I know it may sound picky, but hey, thats why we mod our phones!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] pvgomer:
This would be awesome, that's one feature I liked about the vibrant.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
I assume the one you tried (and kept FCing) was the deodexed version?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
I tried taking the Contacts.apk directly from the Vibrant system dump and it didn't do anything but FC so I was thinking maybe I need the odex file also or there was more work to be done to get it running that was beyond my knowledge.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chlrbwls:
I think the reason behind the FC is because of the missing parameter for the backup assistant which verizon only offers i think. (you need subscription for this)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] magicriggs:
The swipe action works in the text message thread. Go to your text messages and swipe left or right on a name then it will either go call or text, respective direction.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
Yeah we already established that. Looking for that functionality in the contacts app.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
It was a system dump from the i9000, I also tried the one from the Vibrant like kvaughan did. I haven't been able to find the Contacts.apk from a Captivate dump, I'm actually on vacation this week and I havent been in front of my computer too much to do some real research
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
OK, I've attached the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk from the deodexing of the last official (i.e. non-Froyo) Captivate ROM.

I haven't tried it (and am not quite sure what ContactsProvider *does*), so test at your own risk.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] CrimsonKnight13:
I'll take a look at implementing that & see how it goes.

Edit: The slide to call or message is a nice feature. The only issue is that the settings for Contacts.apk has SIM & ATT features. When tapping a contact on the home screen, instead of coming up like a message box (comic style), it just pops up without much kick...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] janorton05:
Now Im new to the programing part of all this so correct me if im completely off base or if it would be to difficult. Since the feature does work in the fascinates text messaging. Would it be possible to locate the part of the code in there and implement it into the contacts. I'm not doubting that it would be extremely complex but since it is already on the fascinate it theoretically would work if that part of code could be transfered into the contacts file correct?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
For some god-awful reason the Captivate Contacts.apk is dependent on the Yahoo! Stock Widget.

>_>

So you'll need at least that.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
No, just use the Mesmerize Contacts. Works great on either DI01 or DJ05.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingnutta:
Ok, i know this is a question in the dev section but i think it belongs here, if mods think different then please move.

As the title says really - if i choose not to try the S-OFF - will i be left behind later on down the line with regard to custom ROM's??

If i bricked my phone the wife would go bonkers, so i am really wary at the moment with trying it as there is a higher chance of bricking it. Anyhow thats a seperate issue..

So maybe some devs can answer my question??.. Am i at some point gonna have to take the plunge or is it more of a nice thing to have, more than a necessity?

Or is there likely to be a later version that has a lesser chance of bricking if does go wrong??

Cheers all for any replies.. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
I think that if a custom ROM requires S-OFF it will have a good reason, or the dev is being lazy.

Also HTC is very likely to plug the exploit that gives S-OFF at some point, if it's possible to do so.

I do agree from what i have read, but for me personally the risk at this time is too much.. If anything did go wrong i would be kicking myself. :(

Maybe at a later date as i said if a more less risky version comes out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abc27:
No such thing. It's not the application that's risky, it's the procedure in general. You're in essence flashing the lowest level of your phone, if it fails the phone will be useless but the chance of it failing is almost negligible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
one thing i am willing to ask. does that mean that turning security to off, you do not need to pay for unlock codes? you can just turn s-off and flash a rom and it will unlock the phone?

sorry for the dumb question!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
S-OFF won't sim unlock the phone.

A lot of people are flashing this without knowing what it does, which is just plain stupid. The risk is minimal, but there is a risk that it will totally brick the phone permanently. Nobody should flash it unless they want to use S-OFF for something. It'll also absolutely guaranteed to void the warranty, there's no way HTC will touch a phone if you return it with the S-OFF bootloader (though it is easy to remove).

At the moment it's most useful for devs, in order to test changes without the need for reboot/recovery/reboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philJ:
+1

no need for normal usage of the phone ... you can also do all without s-off ... with s-off you dont have to reboot everytime ...

I've been trying to find this out also. All the posters that have mentioned it vaguely haven't been forthcoming with specific details or further posts about the subject.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtran00:
Just wondering whats the general rule of thumb is, if any when installing apps. Just as you are about to buy an app you get warnings like.."read phone state" or " may change connectivity settings" are these pretty standard?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
is up to your own discretion

it just tells you what is the app capable of, as in what phone features it needs for it to funtion

if you are the paranoid type, and read something like "this apps needs network connection" your would probably want to click NO to cancel the installation

otherwise you'll hit YES and the install will continue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtran00:
Thanks all gamer. I am the paranoid type. The app i am refering too is beejive. I loved it for my berry and iphone and now just got it for my droid.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skyworxx:
This is just a very vague idea, but wouldn't it be possible to build an external flash controlled via the headphone jack?

There are several cheap flashes on the market, and almost all can be triggered manually. Whenever you take a picture, the phone simluates that shutter sound of a real DSLR camera.

I'm not big with electronics or even soldering, but shouldn't it be possible to build a device that uses that sudden change of voltage on the headphone jack (the "sound signal" is nothing else than a change of voltage) to trigger an external flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tsinc:
Sounds good, but there are so many parameters for syncing a flash device which make it very difficult :confused: (I think)...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SgtMoo:
The phone makes the sound by the looks of it after it has taken the picture, the flash needs to be before the photo is takes so for the method you're thinking a custom app would be needed to make a sound before/as the picture is taken.

I'm no real whiz when it comes to electronics but outputting a sound/signal from the audio jack and have it picked up by some device designed to trigger a flash shouldn't be too complex (more than complex enough for myself :p) The problem is going to lie in the program itself. To do it you're going to have to have a camera program load and play a sound and almost instantaneously take a picture. There can not be ANY lag or allowance for latency in this or the flash will be out of time with the snapshot. If the phone is in the middle of doing something else while a photo is taken (background apps or something) then this might delay the loading of the audio file and put the flash out of sync with the snapshot.

just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dekeijzer:
Perhaps the sync doesn't have to be perfect. If you set a large shutter time (if that is possible at al) the flash would only have to be somewhere between start and stop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
An interesting idea, but if you are going to carry around a DSLR type camera flash, then you might as well carry a small compact camera with a built in flash because size wise there wont be much of a difference. Or if you are thinking of a small LED light to simulate the LED flash of a camera phone, then get something like this turn it on, point and take the picture. I have a dual LED key chain light that I have used once or twice as a flash for the camera (all manual of course).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SgtMoo:
true but a long shutter time means more chance of blurring the image if it's not held steady

The device wouldn't need to be large, just big enough to hold a battery or 2 (most LEDs require 3v the super bright ones a bit more) and the circuitry to receive the signal and turn the LED on. Unless you can work out a way to power it off the USB port or run a wire inside and run from the battery, then the device wouldn't be bulky or anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fAtaXe:
since you'd need a special app anyway you could just do everything via the usb port then
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dekeijzer:
Not really if the Flash is a real 'flash' and not just a led turning on and of.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FadeFx:
this sounds interresting for all flashless devices, i´d suggest to build a camera app thet supports this and gives a signal to trigger the flash. also you could just build the device and suggest support for it to other camera app developers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sztupy:
can't the usb port of the SGS give out +5V? If yes one can simply attach a led+resistor to the usb port, and you've got flash.
