Yup, hard reset. You will lose all your settings if you don't back them up but it won't hurt anything.

..i tried the hard reset method..but..the tab still didn't appear..sighz..

Asian version don't have googlemap hence the location button is missing afaik.

Yes it says on the website that Asian version won't have this tab,but is there a way to manually install it? I'm planning to buy mine here in Taiwan but i'm still searching how to flash it from chinese OS to english OS. I'm really new to this stuff,

Touch 3G in Taiwan
Hi BH
You should be able to find some sellers that will convert it to English for you.
If you are in/near to Taipei, check "Nova" (Near Taipei Main Station) down on the lowest floor, there is an official HTC shop and in front of them is a non-official one...while the official one told me it was impossible to get an English version here, the store in front of it said...yeah fine, for a small extra charge they could do all that for me I can't remember how much the charge was, but pretty sure it was about 1000 NT or less. I didn't buy one but if I do, I will probably go back to them to get it.

Oh Thanks for the quick reply.Maybe I'll check that.

No need for that.
Get a registry editor, go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\ and change the LocationWidget value from "0" to "1". Soft reset and you should see the location widget.
Additionally I had to install the google maps software, because it was not present on my device and the location widget didn't actually do anything, so you might need to do that too.

I have the latest rom version, purchased from PCCW in Hong Kong for HK$3100. It has the Map Search tab in Touchflo.
aussie
in HK.

Works fine to add the tab
To install the Google Maps Software :
Go to http://m.google.com on your pda (by using IE)
Go to Map and download the software
EDIT : Install it to the MAIN Memory !

I don't have locationwidget in my register!
I have the UK version...
Anyone a idea?

Have you tried creating it manually?

Its works!
But....when I click on the tab nothing happends
Can someone make it works?

As I said, you need to install the Google Maps application.
Go to http://m.google.com/maps and download it from there
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you have to install it to the main memory, not the storage card (we've been discussing that in another thread)

It works great!
I install it on de SD card en now on my device, that was the solution.
Thanks!

You mean "should be" a lot of people, including me have had problems where it doens't show up anywhere.
I've had three of these so far, and none have it installed. It installs Cabs with "opera" in them on the hard reset, but nothing shows....
Does anyone know what this T-Mobile @ Home should be?
Can no-one provide a screen shot of what this "T-Mobile @ Home" thing should look like??? :-(

I dont think it should "look" like anything, I think it modifies behaviour of the device in an un-specified way. You dont actualy "see" a today item.
I had an Ameo, It had opera. I did a hard reset, Opera was gone!!!
I replaced the Ameo (for another fault) and that one has opera, a hard reset and opera is still there.
Very strange.
I was one of those who had missing Opera during one of the hard reset. However, I think it is not missing, but merely not installed properly. You recall that whenever a CAB run there is a prompt to confirm that we would authorise the installation of a software? I believe that I might have absent mindedly provided the wrong response without realising it, and the device merely obeyed my instruction to leave it out from the installation.
I can't see opera in my programs screen either.
However it opens when I press the web'n'walk button.

WIMP - Where Is My Phone

Hey Guys,
I posted this in the Kaiser thread. It works brilliantly on my Ameo too.
Here's the first post from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332324
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
this is a great find. thanks
Yes, this is a fantastic idea. However, the implication on our privacy is something to think about very seriously. Yes, it does protect our phone from theft and lost.
Can it be uninstalled or removed by a hard reset.?
Yes, it can be uninstalled, and yes it will be removed by a hard reset.
HOWEVER, pop it into your External Rom and the above two things become insignificant.
That's very true.
or cook it into a rom, doesnt help if they re-flash though...
Mobile Justice
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
Does the same, is freeware, works without problems on My athena WITHOUT bottom bar at 128 DPI (WINP shows no ICON)
The easiest way could be to cook it into a ROM and put the config file into an unlocked EXTERNAL ROM.
This is needed because a config file is requested, so, even if you cook mobile justice into the rom, you can't cook the config file (it needs your password, your SIM number and your phone number to report at..)
Then you can config your phone and even in case of an hard reset, without the thieft knowledge of the SW, it will restart and it reads the config file into the external ROM

We would have to assume that 99.9% of the guy having our phones does not know anything about flashing. This is a reasonable assumption I think.
Having even 80% chances of getting back a lost phone is already not bad.

Agree with this. Even having the config file on the MicroDrive might work, if this could be built into the ROM to look there by default. Don't know if that's possible. Yes, you could erase the Microdrive but this would take more research than the usual thief might be willing to make...
WIMP says it will send a Google Maps link, will Mobile Justice do that? Seems like MJ is actually more configurable.

MJ send GPS info in some formats, and have NO ICON on home screen. And a guy having in his hands a phone like this the first thing he search on google is HOW TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE Without a config file in ROM (on on microdrive I agree, but when you hard reset the ATHENA he asks "do you want to format the microdrive?" Having a stolen one the answer will be always YES!
Moreover is FREE, so I think no problems, asking to author, to put it into the ROM and to modify the registry key for config file to have it on external rom. The problem is.. could we have a PK3.0 with External Rom unocked as default?

I don't recall being asked about reformatting the MicroDrive on hard reset... But having it in external rom would certainly be a viable approach. This would be a nice feature for PK3.0

The only way to works well it's integrating it in the rom, cause if its stolen the first thing that can do is change the rom
New Version on their website.
V1.2 includes various stealth options.
Wouldn't it be great if we could tell the program to draw the thiefs attention (eg an alarm) and when the person reacts to this alarm have it make a photograph with the front camera, which could be send through mms or e-mail... Then you would know who to look for when you arrive at the GPS coordinates with your baseball bat...

Co-pilot (Remover Help)

hey guys,
I have just recieved my HTC HD2 phone yesterday and at the moment im loving it, have had most XDA's that o2 have braught out.
As in my title the Co-pilot is pre-installed on the phones and have a 15 day trail, however i have got and using TomTom. Now when i go to remove porgrammes you only get ones that you have installed on there after you get it from factory. my question is how do you remove the cop-pilot?? im doing this to free space on the phone for later use??
thanks in advanced
Shane
Just delete the copilot folder from program files.
It can save you some 10mb atleast.
Thank you for contacting us,
Regarding your request, kindly be informed that Co-pilot comes pre-installed on the device and therefore can’t be removed, however you can use any other navigation program you wish as well as the pre-installed Google maps.
Please note that you can contact us via support line. For further details, please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx, you'll find a toll free number that you can dial only from a landline.

It is a well known fact that the copilot software is COOKED in the ROM and so, CANNOT be removed.
The easiest way to save the memory space is to do like what i posted above.
I think there was some way to stop rom files being copied into ram during every boot. Only I don't remember where I saw that.

On the Diamond and older device after a hard reset a window would popup with a progress bar while apps were being installed. If you did a soft reset before the window appeared you could prevent some apps from being installed from ROM.
I don't see that window on the HD2.

I dont really fancy doing a hard reset as i have to put everything back on. i thought as much there would be no way. i guess i could jus delete the folders. i will leave it on there untill i lose space, then sort something out,
Thanks for your help guys

AT LAST!

Well...
Finally took the plunge and shelled out for the HD2!
I trully hope it lives up to my hopes for it.
Can anyone help me out, though. What ROM should I flash on it? I still want Copilot, would like the home screens in landscape also if possible. Any ideas?
Thanks and I look forward to lots of great help from this forum, like I got from this great site for all my other phones! Well done all you guys that work so hard so that dumba** like me can get my phones the way I want them!!!

I can't help with the other things you request (I'm scared of going away from standard as I'm not confident in all this modification stuff!), but you can look for the NaviPanel.exe progam in the Windows folder of your phone. Click and hold on it, select copy, then navigate from the Windows folder to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and tap the menu soft button, select edit>paste shortcut (and rename if required). This should appear in your Start Menu now. You can the add it to a quick link (it hasn't got an icon though).
ROM 1.66
Rom 1.66 is the ROM to go...
re: the navipanel - bizarrely, mine decided to switch on navipanel by itself when I mounted the phone on one of the cheapo mounting kits from ebay - I've already modded my dashboard for my Garmin, which got power through mini USB (routed the cables behind the dash and out into a cubby) - so instead of pulingl the dash apart again I'm using a mini-to-micro adapter (99p off ebay or something).
My only guess is there's something special about the Garmin lead that tells the HD2 it's getting a little something more than just 12v - and the phone thinks it's the official car kit - because it doesn't happen when I just use the crappy adapter that came with the cheapo mounting kit.
Having said all that, I don't actually like navipanel cos it seems to disable the phone buttons - home key etc - presumably to stop you fiddling with the phone functions when you should be concentrating on the road - but that annoys the wife, who likes to control the music on long journeys...
Thanks
Thanks guys. ROM 1.66 is an HTC ROM right? NOT a custom?

Okay, thanks. I'll track it down. I'll use the UK one till a proper version comes out LOL!
Id love to flash to ROM 1.66. Just is such a hassle getting the phone back to how i had it. Wish it was easier.
Hi,
Why does the HTC web site tell me the ROM update is not for my device?
S/N is correct.
Is there another way to get 1.66

It means you have a carrier locked device, (example tmobile) so the standard HTC webpage wont let you download, you techincally need to wait for your provider to issue an update, ((buut dont hold your breath for tmo and o2,,,))). This has been covered a thousand times, go search for and read up on HSPL in the rom development section

open issues on samsung tablet

Dear Comunity
I bought recently a Samsung Galaxy Tab, 7, running android 2.2
I come from Windows Mobile device, I was loyal for 8 years to Microsoft. I just made this shift, so far I am happy but I have some worries and questions:
1. Locale and text
under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...
How to add these 2 locales?
2. Brightness: the 4 hardware buttons on the bottom: can the retro-lighting be extended from (current) 4 secs to 20 secs? I could not find any settings..
3. Swype
My Samsung Galaxy tab comes with built-in swype, version 2.5 in English, Chinese, and other languages which I do not need (Malay, Thai, Indonesian, etc).
I have two questions:
1. how to add Italian module? Is it possible?
2. How to remove not relevant languages, like Indonesian and Malaysian, to reduce size?
4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:
- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?
- will the unit be upgradable?
- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?
Doing a backup with Titanium will solve the problem? I think not, since, after a major upgrades, most app will lose their configurations files which usually is kept within system files and these ones are cleared during and after a major O.S. upgrade. right?
5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?
6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?
7. Cable
I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad: but when I used my iPad charger + cable it does NOT charge my samsung. Viceversa also true: if I use my samsung cable it won't charge my iPad and my iPhone...Does anybody know why? are these 2 cables different in the pin mapping or else?
8.
Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).
9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?
I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!
10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?
Thanks a lot and merry Xmas!
Saulo
#3: about swype
Is there a way to update from version 2.5 to latest swype version (2.9)? I have "rooted" my phone, but still cannot figure out:
- where to download the latest swype for samsung tablet
- how to upgrade (step by step procedure is most welcomed!)
Thank you!
Saulo
4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:
- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?
- will the unit be upgradable?
- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?
We don't know when the upgrade will be available. We've not had a firm 'if' yet, but other Samsung phones are getting upgraded so it's logical to hope. Though many of the 2.3 changes appear to be integrated with the Tab already. I suspect we may just get the 3.0 upgrade when it comes out and skip 2.3.
Updates provided OTA don't wipe any data. People messing around with custom roms often clear to fix issues, but the official upgrades, rare as they are, tend not to hurt user data. Even if they did, most user files are stored on the SDCard that's not touched, and apps can be re-installed with a quick visit to the Market to redownload.
5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ook-contacts-to-google-gmail-HA001148902.aspx
6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?
Yes, I've done this on... 3 devices so far. If there is a limit, I've no idea what it is, but it's been easy when logged in on same account to get all my favourite apps back.
7. Cable
I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad
Ah, they're not. It's a PDMI cable for the Tab I believe that's a standard now. Apple have their own connector that, as you've noticed, is incompatible.
8.
Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).
I don't know. Put a bit of tape/dab of correcting fluid to show the difference?
9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?
I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!
Errr... Don't know.
10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?
Do a search for contacts manager in the market and see what you like. There's the official Google one. The Galaxy one is decent. Not had a need for anything else.
1. Locale and text
under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...
How to add these 2 locales?
Hmm, where did you get your tab? Should be an Italiano as an option.
And as for English Ireland, what IS that btw? I'm honestly curious as I usually see United Kingdom. Wasn't aware there was an Eire version, what's different?

1. - If there isn't an Italian locale, download More Locales from the Market. But I have also never noticed a seperate locale for Ireland. What's the difference from standard English/UK? Mine (purchased from Carphone Warhouse, manually updated to JMA) has Italiano a good locale option.
2. Brightness - no, there is no option at this time to extend the backlight timeout.
3. Swype - you might be able to download a new language pack from the alps settings, or again, More Locales from the Market might help you out. And don't complain about the size, 2gb is more than enough for any app-whore

Dear Jve...
English ireland is useful to me because I like the regional settings, eg: date in this format: dd/mm/yyyy and not in american format, which is mm/dd/yyyy
Also I like the 24H format provided by English Ireland locale: e.g. 22:46 instead of 10:46pm
Thanks
Saulo
I have an additional question:
In my iPad the market application (called App Store) automatically notifies me when updates are available, for ALL installed application. It also promts me to install ALL of them or SOME of them, and let me choose.
Android, coversely, does NOT prompt me with updates of my applications, when they are available. Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a hidden setting to switch ON such a notification?
If not, is there any available application or widget which automatically notify me of available updates?
Thanks a lot!

Well, dd/mm/yyyy is the standard for the UK too, and you can select 24 hour clock in "Date and Time".
That being said, on my Tab, running JME, I have the English (Ireland) and Italian locales.
You may need to flash a new ROM to do what you want, but proceed with caution if you want to go to the JMx series!

DO you have proper Android Market on your Tab, because that does tell you when you have application updates available via the notification bar.
If you do, when in the Market, press Menu and then Settings and the Notifications.

How to add these 2 locales?
I have the same questions on Languages, Spelling and Keyboard how do I add and remove these languages?
I have a German SGT (Product code DBT with the JK5 firmware) and I can choose Swedish language in the OS but not change Swype, Samsung Keyboard or XT9 to Swedish - how do I add Swedish?
The app Locales 2 in the market seems "fishy" ;-)
/skylt
Dear Dave
Thanks for your insights!
1.
About market application: i think I have the built-in one. the icon is a white-green icon like a small bag with a strap and a green picture of a robot inside the icon
if I open "market" I see that "notify me" is already selected as default
But I still do not get automatically notification...
Of course I can open all the apps and then update them (still in "market"), so my problem is not such a big issue anyway.
dear Dave
You mentioned that I need to burn my samsung tablet device with a new ROM, JME, to obtain English and Italian Locales.
Please can you elaborate a bit more?
1.Where to download it?
2. Will the new ROM be equipped with SWYPE (at least UK, US, Chinese and Italian languages)?
3.
and, most of all, why you said it is risky?
Happy New Year!

My questions are:
1. the message is telling me that I am running the latest FROYO version, thus at this moment there is NO need to update?
2. The message is telling me that I purchased (here in China) a device which will NEVER be able to be updated?
3. The message is saying: I feel you have rooted myself, so you I won't let you update me...
If #2 or #3 are correct, can I update the ROM? what about cooked ROM suitable to my device?
2.
My second question is: does somebody know if my current version is a Korean one? And if so, can I change to an European or American one? In fact I really do not need Korean-language Swype and many asian locale settings...all together eating much memory....
Thanks and happy new year!

You mentioned that I need to burn my samsung tablet device with a new ROM, JME, to obtain English and Italian Locales.
Please can you elaborate a bit more?
1.Where to download it?
2. Will the new ROM be equipped with SWYPE (at least UK, US, Chinese and Italian languages)?
3.
and, most of all, why you said it is risky?
Happy New Year!

1. From these forums - just look in the development section. Roto-JME is probably the one you want since it doesn't replace the bootloader.
2. It comes with Swype, but the original version is better because it works "full screen", so I replaced it. No idea if it supports anything non-English.
3. Any sort of flashing carries risk - in the case of JME, if you use the Samsung packages you will end up with a security-locked bootloader - this may or may not be an issue for you, depending on if you want to run a custom ROM in the future.

@Dave: Perphaps a bit offtopic. But is there any way to see it I am stuck with the locked bootloader?

Chainfire has posted a script to check this - see the first post in this thread.

dear all
If so, I will give a try to ROTO JME.
Do I need to reinstall and re-customized all my application? I have Titanium Backup, but I am not familiar with it and never used...
2.
Since Swype is the only think I dislike in my current JJ2 ROM (Singapore) I have these 2 questions:
Is there a way (possibly not very painful one) to:
- unistall malaysia, indonesia languages?
- install italian language?
3.
I have run in a big flaw today!
I received a SMS, my device was LOCKED (for privacy). But when the SMS arrived the device turned on, and, even LOCKED, it showed the content of SMS...this is not acceptable to me.
Is there a workaround? An additional settings?
I use the default Messanging
3b: if of any help, I can unistall the default tool (messanging) and install Handcent SMS, but will this fix my issue? Again, I wish that NO SMS appear on display if in LOCKED mode (password protected mode)
Thanks
Saulo
