Hi guys,
does anybody know of a good remote control tool for the xda 2?
Ive lost the one for the telly and cant get it of Trisha!!!!
cheers
NoviiRemote
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
?what?
lol spam it up fellas.
Novii works a treat for most equipment (2-3 metres) and quite horribly for others (3-4 cm).
look out for version 2.2 as it is xda2 compatible.
hope this ends the spam lesson.

heres the link: www.novii.com
I have seen lots of posts on here about people who have purchased Sat Nav Bluetooth devices for their phone only to find out that the software is not fully compatible or the screen jumps and then freezes.
I have found one that I think may work, it says it's compatible with Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and the 2000 version:

has anyone else got this? any views?
I bought one of these with the newer Sirf Star III chipset in and it's great.

same here, had it for a couple of months, couldn't be better... Has an external antenna port to if you ever need to boost the signal. Donno if all the others have it...
that's good although why is it so cheap?
Do you use yours with your Wizard (o2 Mini XDA S)? Is the picture good and not jumpy and does the phone not freeze whilst in use?
Cheers all
EDIT: I see it says that it does not come with Sat Nav software, where can you get hold of this?
hi
I bought a Holox BT device from Ebay and works great with TT5 and wizard.
Good luck
Simon
I bought the £39.99 bluetooth one from www.mobilefun.co.uk and it works great with both Destinator 3 and my own GPS app.
What GPS software are you using? I have looked a a few andd can't decide.
Is anyone able to supply me with the extra's such as speed camera notifications etc?
Thanks in advance

They offer a free download of a Speed camera database - latest release Feb 2006.
They also have a lot of other interesting stuff relating to GPS on Pocket PC, Smartphone and Palm.
pewe, i found stuff in the PIO section of my Tom Tom...its got the speed cam images and the 20/30/40 etc speed limits
Glad you found them

Pewe, they have switched to a subscription based service for these now. The last free one was Feb 2006.
If anyone wants it, I have up to January 2006.
Jerry-S, nice one mate...
Tis ok my friend.
I have seen so many people struggle with tomtom and WM5 / Wizard and would love to just say, "Here, have a copy of my SD." Lol
But I can't cos it's not exactly......................
.....................well, ya'know, kosha. LOL

So I see ..... well I suppose they have to cover the work they put in to keep it up to date. It saved my bacon a couple of times so I guess out of gratitude I will maybe subscribe... :roll:

Well if you look at it from a hosting point of view, as soon as people get wind that you can get for free what some people have been charging for on e-bay, what are they going to do?
I am assuming that the main reason for the charge is for bandwidth charges, seeing as the rest of the site is freely accessible.
If you think about it, it's not a bad price to pay, especially as it's a hell of alot cheaper than a fine or loosing your licence / job.
Now all we need for HGV driver like me, is a really good comprehensive database of low bridges and a way to make TT avoid certain Poi's.

I heard it doesnt have a FM receiver is that true if yes is there any way i could still receive radio signals?? I hope there is cause thats the only reason for me not buying it.
That is correct. No FM-radio in HTC Hero. That does not work in the subway anyway so I put my hopes up for a good webradio application.
i hated this about my iphone as well (currently have a hero coming) but it isn't that big of a deal because web radio works where ever you have a data signal; usually FM radio in buildings is ****e most of time due to signal quality.
If you download Beebplayer from the market you can "Listen Live" to BBC Radio 1,2,3 etc and also "Watch Live" BBC1, 2, News etc. Aslong as you're a TV License holder.
Web Radio is so much better than FM, you don't need headphones with you just to be able to play it. This is no biggie to me really, as said previously, reception is ****e.
web radio might have better reception but not all local fm stations are web based plus data signal quality and range may not always be strong. Besides having two options is always better than one.
using web radio will eat up your monthly data allowance more quickly then a fat kid eating a Big Mac

I've got an Ipod Touch and really dislike the "Apple politic", so really need a change and thought HTC hero (with FM) would have made this difference! I don't consider web radio because of the web access and don t need a 3G connexion. FM should be basicly on any multimedia stuff!!!!
FM Receiver on all the HTC's I have used have always been poor reception anyway, so I never used it
hmm, just found saw this: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nexus-one-teardown-reveals-possible-802-11n-radio-and-fm-transmi
what chipset is mounted on the hero?
radio streaming cannot be compared to fm radio. it consumes way more battery and internet bandwidth..
Nexus one is the top model from HTC today...
Hero is based on qualcomm and like Magic does not have FM receiver, so only way is online radio...

...not completely true
On modern smartphones most FM receivers are integrated in the bluetooth chipset.
The Hero hardware uses BRF6350 chipset form TI, which in fact has a FM receiver subcircuit. FYI: the X1, a.k.a. HTC Kovsky, also uses this chipset and has FM radio function.
See here for more details about the chip:
http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/ti_bluelink_6_brf6350.pdf
These chips require some firmware to interact properly with the main CPU.
So without a proper firmware file activating the FM subset, there'll never be FM radio for Hero.
There might be also hardware parts missing to get this ever working....
P.S.: Nexus is also based on Qualcomm.
Best regards,
scholbert

That may be true, but it's bumped a thread that's about 7 months old. And that's just annoying for many people.
Although its good information
and what about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13380058&highlight=hero# ?

And now we've bumped a thread over a year old, 2.5 years from original post...
This person in this post here claimed to have my app running OK on a cdma Hero, but then had some problem and disappeared : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18460535&postcount=1462
I don't know if the gsm version is the same.
AFAIK, the only issue is the audio routing. RSSI looked OK on good stations I think.
I'm here due to an email I received, but for further discussion, perhaps my thread is best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22492334&postcount=2246
if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

I can give it a try :fingers-crossed: , but if anything i'll hold on to it for a few unless i can't get 1.1
Why not let us disagnose your problem with 3.0?
AFAIK, 3.0 is much more improved than 1.1.
Here it is, Hope you can get it working. http://db.tt/WBP5iUSZ

Results are in and it WORKS!
With a huge grin on my face: Thank you
as to troubleshooting why 3.0 dosn't work for me, i honestly don't know what to tell you. I spent a lot of time researching it and i'm just dumb founded. If i had a spare note 2 i would try to get to the bottom of it, but alas thats not the case (too scared to brick my phone).

If you go to the main thread, it'll be there. Btw i was able to install 4.0 with no problems at all. Makes me wonder whats so different about 3.0 that makes it fail to install. Anybody have any ideas?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...
Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I made your day worse somehow with my irrelevant post in such an old thread... I hope you will forgive me
