[Desire General] /rant/:
Dear community,

I have a question concerning the use of a specific name tied to my HTC Desire on Wi-Fi networks. I exclusively use SwiFTP to transfer files to my phone which requires a fixed IP or a friendly network name associated to my chipset's MAC address.

However, I am often online in varying Wi-Fi networks, making it impossible to even access router configurations. My question is: If possible, how can I assign my phone a name to identity itself in the network?

My current solution is to interrupt my normal Wi-Fi session, active hotspot capability, connect laptop and phone and access the FTP server over 192.168.0.1:port.

Thank you for any hints.

Hey guys, I flashed my Mom's phone with CM 6.0 a few weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She has insurance and is planning to get a replacement phone, and I'm worried that she might get in trouble with Tmo for having a custom ROM.

So my question is, do I need to to an SPL or is there an update zip I can flash with Clockwork Mod to go back to the stock rom?

Thanks for my noobish question, I don't own this specific device so it's a bit confusing. Much easier to take care of on my Hero.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jdyates:
Your mom let you flash her phone? My mom wont let me go anywhere near her Motorola Cliq.

Anyway, go to theunlockr.com, and theres a guides there in how to UNroot, then Tmobile can send you a replacement (for whatever reason)...and yes, custom ROMs void your warranty, but when you unroot, its as if you never rooted. PERFECT stock.

BUT: you have to use the correct guide, is the phone a US T-Mobile Mytouch or a European HTC Magic? Or a Mytouch with the headphone jack?

Try a diffrent rom first, like the latest aosp 2.2.1 OTA for mytouch, cm6 has always been trouble, memory leaks up the wazoo. Anywho, in my opinion aosp froyo 2.2 one of the best roms I have ever had on my mytouch 3g fast as hell

Ok im going to take the plunge and try to run android on my HD2 i havent really messed about with my mob it too much but when i first got the Phone i flashed from the 02 ROM to the WWE i think i had to run Hspl or something like that cant quite remember.

basicly before i start i would like to ask a few questions in the hope some can open the door for me

to enjoy android on my HD2

1) I have downloaded FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.2

I know its preference but is this a good starting block i.e most support stable relese and so on. or would you recomend a different build?

2) I hear windows roms can cause issues when running android my phone is currently at this stage below.

will this cause problems do i need to change to a custom rom and if so again whats most people using

OS - 5.2.21869

Manila - 2.5.19211619.0

Rom - 1.66405.2 WWE

Radio - 2.06.51.07

BARE BONES WM ROM FOR ANDROID BY NRGZ28

¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ | 21911||23129 * Sense 2018

or other?

3) Question 2 brings me on to radios i guess if the above is necessary then a radio is needed,

Again what are people preference?

4) If the above questions are required then i know im required to hspl my HD2 but what version should

I use and does it matter that i have used a previos version?

Its not about being spoon feed i think i have ask valid questions if you follow a scene right from the begining of corse you will know exactly what to do, but as im coming into this scene 9 months too late theres a lot to learn i have done the searching and the reading.

I dont think im that far off from understanding what the procedure is all im asking for is a few simple questions to be answered by people in the know!

Nice to see that this community is willing to help out new comers i hope that you try to get into a scene and no one helps you out because you will understand what it is like!

At the end of the day its my mobile phone that i use daily for work i carnt really afford to be fashing dodgy unstale roms diffrent radios and so on.

I sold my Nexus one only last week, and purchased this phone.

I did not start a thread asking what to do?

Ive tried a lot of Win mobile roms, radios, sdcards and android builds to get to a stable setup..

No one can tell you what is best for you.... there are many factors that will effect your experience and you would know this by doing some quality reading instead of waiting to be told...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can't be bothered with the "do this" "do that" and "search the 1,000,000 threads for something I know" thing.

Upgrade your radio to a minimum of 2.08.50 (I'd recommend 2.12.50 or higher, even 2.15.50 - the current latest).

I use FroyoStone Sense v3.1 (so I can't speak for v3.2) and I find it the best version I've tried. I've only tried a handful though, so I'm no expert.

As for HSPL, if you've already got a custom ROM on there then don't worry about that. If you can, use the latest official ROM from HTC. That comes with the latest radio and doesn't care about HSPL.

Next semester is my final semester at college (I'm finally graduating in May :D) and I have been wanting to develop an App for my final Senior Project.

So I wanted to get some app ideas from you guys, something useful to develop.

Thanks

[Android Software Development] bluseychris:
I'd like to see some form of dedicated forum browser or plugin that can take the information from a message board like this one and make it easier to view on a mobile. I know there's an app that does something like that already but that requires a plugin for the forum and I'm refusing to pay for an app that will only read boards with that plugin.

If it can display mobile sites in a way that they're meant to be viewed that'd also be good (have a look at mobile.bcfc.com in various mobile browsers).
[Android Software Development] JGeZau:
Thanks for the ideas guys, but I might have found a great idea. I'll be doing a little more research on it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenacious Steve:
I have T-Mobile and have had the T-Zones for 10 years and got grandfathered in at the $4.99 rate. I've gone through several phones over the years, including an iPhone and now the Nexus One, and they all worked GREAT with T-Zones.

When I first got the N1, I was getting download speeds (according to SpeedTest.net app) of anywhere from 2500kbs to 5800kbs with an average in the 3k. Uploads were always 800-1900kbs. The app also showed the data network as either "UTMS" or "HSPDA".

Last week, I began getting a message telling me that my data package needed to be upgraded and was not compatible with my phone. This happened to several of my friends who also had an N1 and the T-Zones data. I left it alone for a couple of days thinking it would come back up and it never did despite it working fine on my iPhone.

Since I couldn't get it to work, I "upgraded" to an offer Tmo had that included unlimited calling, unlimited text, AND unlimited data all for $79.99.....only $5 more than I was paying. Thinking it would be the better deal and I'd get better data since it would be their TRUE data network, I changed to that plan and dropped the T-Zones.

Ever since then, I've NEVER had my data download speed go over 300kbs and my upload stays under 100kbs. NO settings whatsoever have been changed on my actual phone. On top of that, the app no longer shows the phone running off a data network but instead shows "Cell". What am I missing here?

I've tried several APNs, including epc.tmobile, voicestream2, voicestream3, and they are ALL the same!?

I've called Tmo and they can't seem to help me due to having and "unsupported phone". What makes it even worse is my friend with Tzones told me that his finally came back up about 5 days later and he's STILL getting 4-5mbs speeds.

Anyone have any suggestions??

After upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 on my (wifes, mine went fine) phone, the internal, and external, sd card shows as unavailable.

I have tried reapplying both 2.1 and 2.2 using odin. I have done several factory resets, and formatted using recovery.

Still broken.

Is there a fix for this, or do I have to take my phone to Bell to get sent in for repairs?

I'm trying to figure out what I might have done wrong, it's possible when going from JH2 to JM8 before finally doing JPM, I might have not clicked re-partition for JM8. Using this guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807886 if that could have broken it at all.

So buying my new G2 was bitter sweet. I thought since it was an Htc, it would have the same capabilities as my hero. To my surprise it dosen't have the same functionality. I went to HTC website and see they have the Desire which is the same as my phone except for it has HTC Sense capabilities.

You have a non-Sense phone, the G2.

There is a dedicated forum for the G2, as this is the hero forum. You will need to follow developments over there to see if it's every possible to use a sense ROM on it.

Hi,

I installed Adobe Air a few days ago and now with some stuff that I put in the phone my memory is decreasing :rolleyes:

My "silly" question is this: Adobe Air is an application to HAVE in the phone??

Sorry for this question but my knowledge about this is nule :)
[Desire General] owziee:
It's useless crap just as it is on your PC... Don't waste storage space with it, flash 10.1 is enough to have.
[Desire General] zeka1974:
Thanks owziee :)
[Desire General] Zhypr:
Saying it's crap like owziee did is ignorant. You can do very cool stuff with it, but at the moment there barely are applications that need it.
[Desire General] zeka1974:
And to run those few applications we need to have Air installed? Flash 10.1 is not enough?

Thanks
[Desire General] Zhypr:
I think you will need Air because Flash 10.1 is just a browser extension. Air allows Flash to run as a native program.
[Desire General] Dragoon Knight:
Adobe Air isn't crap by any means, least of all on the PC. Without it, we'd still be stuck with crappy Kontiki for BBC iPlayer, for one.

Right now, Flash 10.1 is pretty awesome, if a little buggy with some sites. If you're low on space, you could probably safely remove Air for the time being, without missing out on anything. But keep an eye out on things. I think we'll see some good things coming via Air soon.
[Desire General] AndroHero:

Hey all, i have been trying for a couple days not to flash various .zip rom builds to my I9000m (i know people who have the M and have had no problems doing what i'm trying to do.)

So here's the deal, i have a stock jh2 build on the phone (have reflashed and repartitioned several times, to no avail)

i have rooted with OCLF, installed rom manager, installed clockwork (latest) and i can boot in to clockwork recovery, but every time i try to flash a .zip i get the error

Finding update package...

opening update package...

E:Can't read /sdcard/....zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

i get the same result when trying to flash from the stock recovery as well. (2e)

However, i had no problem flashing the .zip for clockwork and OCLF root, and i have no problems flashing with odin.

I would boot into clockwork recovery and select install from sd card there and see if you can select the zip unless of course this is what you have been doing ;)

make sure the update.zip is at the root of /sdcard/

are you able to access your internal sd card?

remove the external SD card just in case

it might be a defective internal SD card if it can not see the internal SD when you boot into recovery mode

In a Zip file

Great splash screens. I added it to a zip file and loaded it that way.

Zip File is named PC36IMG.zip, upper case like this. In the zip is a text file and the the splash screen.

Rename the splash screen to splash1.img (for example I renamed evosplash1.rgb565 to splash1.img in the zip.)

The text file is named "android-info.txt" and contains the following:

modelid: PC3610000

cidnum: SPCS_001

mainver: 3.26.651.6

hbootpreupdate:3

DelCache: 0

DelUserData:0

Boot to the boot loader - holding down VOL Down and Power on buttons. Answer yes to install.

if you want to create your own splash screen. its really not that hard once you get it. first i use photoshop cs5 to make my splash screen 480x800 then save as bmp 24bit then you will be needing a program called nbimg once you have that extract it put your bmp image on the folder then on your pc go to run>cmd>type>cd "drag wherever you put the folder" and your done.
[Hero CDMA General] confusedfish:
So I tried both and I ran into a snag, I loveeeee HTC Sense, that's what sold me on the Hero. But, I'm also obsessive about battery life, and battery was way better with CM6. Unfortunately, I've gone back to the nandroid of CM6, and will not get my Sense anytime soon. So here's my call: Make a Sense ROM with better battery!!

Now I have a question, since I love Sense, would it be worth it to get an extended battery, or is there another ROM y'all can point me in the direction of?

Edit: I don't want this to turn into a Sense vs CM6 thread. I probably should have thought out the title beforehand.
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
Using HTC Sense, go into settings, wireless networks, and then (I can't remember exactly where you go next) but there is a check-box that says "Enable Data Always On". Uncheck that. That will keep your 3G off while your screen is off and will save you a ton of battery life. Your only other option is to download Juice Defender from the market (which pretty much does the same thing, except it enables 3G once every 5 minutes to check for new emails and stuff).

Hope that helps you get battery life out of sense. (Another option is to use CM6 with Launcher Pro Plus which looks and acts a lot like sense and has lots of nice widgets.)

-alex
[Hero CDMA General] confusedfish:
Thanks for the reply! I've done that before, but I just didn't get the same results as the collins tweak with CM6 :(
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
I get the same great battery life using sense as I do using cm6. On sense, use autokiller set to aggressive and turn off all your gps and location services. As well as auto sync and background data.

I run cm6 the same way but I can leave background data on and get the same quality.

With either set up I get more than a full days use with moderate to heavy usage. Facebook, lots of texts, browsingxda, random internet searches.

That's from about 7 30 in the am to 10 30 ish and ill still have about 30 percent left.
