I have a 8525 and I need some help.
two things, I'd like to get WM6 and keep all the stuff I have put on it. second, I have no clue how to set the WiFi.
Now here is my question;
would anyone in Brooklyn, NY care to help me out and do this for me? I'll bring the beer! Just one catch... I don't have a computer.
I hate to make this my first post, but kinda had to.
pretty please with a cherry on top!
Read HERE. It will help you alot.
Also MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!
You're welcome in Holland........
i've done so much reading...
but to be honest, I need someone to show me in person so I can understand.
But thanks for the links, I have already used the search.
my offer for beer still stands for help, I'm willing to meet up within NYC.
I get it... does anyone want money to help me instead of beer?
or is it a trust issue because of I'm new guy here?
I'm sure if you were a blond with a couple of nice boobs you had 20 offers already. But hey sometimes things aren't always as we want it

Wait a minute - no one mentioned boobs before. I'll fly in from Michigan if you need help... oh wait... damn. Misread that. Oh well.
Actually, you may want to PM austnsync - I think he is an NY guy. He may be available or know someone.
You guys crack me up!
sorry but yes i'm a man, although i'm blonde with a shaved/bald head I don't go that way. If you want some boobies I'll gladly put some pictures up
hopefully there will be someone will see this cry for help and offer some.
As for credentials, check out itrca.com's forums. I'm a mod and member there for a long time.
So beer and money is not attractive enough and I can't find any hood rats for you... What will it take to get some help?
(watched ''40 year old virgin'' last night)
You want someone to go to your house and set your phone up with WM6 and whatever else you may want? What if after they have left, you run into some huge problem? Are you then going to ask for someone else to come help fix it? I don't mean to sound like an ass but the stuff you want done is really easy. If not having a computer is a problem, then surely you must have at least one good friend with a computer who will let you set your phone up. If so, here are 3 links that should help a lot.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
^ This link is a "how to" install WM6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
^ There are newer and better roms in this link here.
Last but certainly not least.. the holy grail of information about anything you could ever want to do to your phone is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Basically Yes,
I just got myself a new laptop and now I deffinately need help.
I'd be willing to meet up with anyone who knows how to upgrade my 8525 and get the sync working.
I'm not going to hold anyone responsible for messing up as long as it was unintentional
What I'm looking for is some instructional help, show me what to do and walk away.
I really suck at computer stuff, Really suck!
I have looked through those links and to be honest, it's like a different language
Beer, Coffee, money, whatever is needed to get me some honest help.
Or should I just go to GeekSquad and let them have a shot at this?
So not one person needs some extras cash?
hi folks, i recently found this application 'Point UI'. You may find some other threads for this, as well. It provides kindda iPhone interface to windows mobile. I ain't crazy for Apple iPhone user interface and themes, but i am sure, there are some people who would definitely appreciate a change.
This software, i have tried on WM5/WM6, works perfectly on them. People usin' WM2/WM3, can try at their own risk and lemme know the compatibility. It is not exactly iPhone interface, but the basic Slide and Touch Navigation works perfectly fine without any hassles. On top of that, people like me, usin' windows mobile with the same good old interface would surely enjoy this change.
And sorry, for not being able to post this application here. Some account related issue, is there. That's why i am posting it on rapidshare. You can PM me, if you face any difficulty in downloadin' i'll e-mail it to you.
Adieu..

@rohit: Its old news..there are numerous threads out here discussing this!
Congratulations you're an idiot.
Been hiding under a rock much? We've known about this since it launched on new yaers day. Besides, why would anyone download your CAB, which could contain anything at all; when they can get the official client from www.pointui.com?
I fail to see how being mean to this guy is going to solve anything fellas. Not EVERYONE is a freakin' geek like us. Give him a break.
Err....what kind of 'break' should we give him (kidding...). This post earns a thread lock....

haah its so funny reading someone posting this when there is already a thread of likd 15 pages ahahahahahahahahahahahaha sorr for that!
o and you know what apple anounced?
a phone!
yes, not only a phone, its an ipod too!
if thats not enough wait until you hear this:
it has an internetbrowser BUILT IN!!
unbelievable!
and yu know what they call it?
i was so impressed by the quality of the name! it is so obvious! why having names like htc touch or htc wizard, there is no way telling a htc wizard is a phone:s, well you know what apple did? well its...it is:
IPHONE
everyone should take an example of apple!
haha lol
stop making fun of him..MODS please delete this post..being senior members i didnt expect this from u guyz
It is NOT an IPhone interface as well.
duuh thats why pointui is so revolutionary, becuz i didnt wanted to make an iphone look a like hehe
I agree, give him a break guys...he is just trying to be informative
Credit to those who share good news....even when its old.

I think you could stay more polite here! Do you want to go through 500+ pages to find a post when you are looking for it then go on supporting double posting! In my opinion this is kind of double posting beacuse everywhere in this forum posts concerning PointUI are popping up and on each page you'll find the string 'PointUI' at least one time!
Yes, not all of us breathe PPC Tech, but like I said everyone will notice that this app is already known when entering this forum.
Have a nice day, vi

I thought I'd put your statement to the test! On entering this forum, there is only this thread which mentions PointUI, therefore unless one is used to the ways of how forums work and this one in particular, only a search would have revealed what you are saying.
Sometimes people come across things in different places and believing they have found something amazing, they just rush over to xda devs to share the good news.
More experienced ones are more inclined to do an internal search first.
Whilst I agree that you are right about being more polite here...apologies to anyone offended, you might take some time out to remember what it's like to be a newbie at something or less experienced than someone else.
Someone makes an innocent mistake by 'who's standards?' but it is very helpful to others who happen to be browsing.
Anyway nuff said. I'll keep quite for now, but if anyone ever flames me like that, I'm sure to speak up.
Have a nice day.

I can only please one person per day. Today isn't your day and tomorrow don't look good either..
I know this website is really help and helps so much. But i was thinking if people can make or direct people to videos shows people step-by-step how to do things to there phone. i feel it will help alot. The text information that evryone gives is great but video can help alot.
and if it not really possible if you can takr pics or screen shots of the step-by-step directions that will also help.
what do you guys think??
If you have videos send us the link and describe whats is it about..
That is about the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Video howto's are fine for teaching people how to nail boards together to build a deck, but you suggest video howtos for how to use a COMPUTER... which is naturally TEXT/DIGIT based. Quite frankly, if you can't understand concise text instructions, then watching some retard who video'd himself pushing buttons is DEFINITELY going to make things MUCH WORSE.
I dont think its a dumb idea... i understand all the instructions i see on xda developers, but i am not new to computers so i wouldnt NEED a video but even i have watched some videos that have helped me out a great deal, and understand what im doing because the person shooting the video explains whats going on. Trouble is, who will have the time to do a video for each and every little tweak or adb push or rom flash etc...
bboy_201 you might see this happen through tmobile first before xda developers.... maybe google....

In some fairness if you're new to computers or aren't comfortable enough to be reading and using text based instructions, you probably shouldn't be flashing your phone or modding in the manner that is done here.

True. But from my own experience i learned computers by doing this kind of stuff right off the bat.. trial and error... so now its nothing to me really.
If you are BRAND NEW to computers and you dont understand basic commands, i believe video tutorials and basic reading would be good

Not everyone in your I.U. 20 class was able to learn by reading, some had to watch others or attempt themselves. A lot of them did manage to remove the stick, though.
If you want video how to's there are many out on the internet. Google it. But in my experience everyone that I have known that has tried to follow a video walk through has just made things worse. I have fixed many phone and even worse(bricked) because someone was following a video walk through. Just take the time to read the information and it will be a lot easier on you. One you have everything right there for your but the most important part is that you will learn more about what you are doing and hopefully get an understanding so that if something goes wrong you can fix it.
Just search youtube. How to root G1 Simple as that.
i gotta agree that videos of how to do most of this is a bad idea, most of the reason to root your phone or do any modding to it is so that we can find the full potential of the device, if you make videos then any idiot can do it and they will come here looking for help when they "brick" their phone. and rather than being a good forum poster they will not search and will start posting multiple threads all over asking for help because someone helped them the first time. if we make everyone read the instructions then in theory they will actually LEARN something and won't need to be spoonfed simple instructions such as rebooting/iping/reflashing/pulling the battery.
VIDEO WALKTHROUGHS ARE A BAD IDEA if you cannot read how to do it you shouldn't do it, if you do not know how to undo it you shouldn't do it either
Instead of videos, I believe text + pictures (screenshots) would be a better option. Because some people have annoying voices. lol.

just read the text, they're all here.. thats how i learned(nd most people) plus all my exprience with computers, which i read everything myself. not to be rude, dont be lazy and read man.
oh i never finished school HAHA, juvey most of the time(its not something to laugh about, if i can change the past i would)
wow some people gotta take it easy....
people learn differently and i was just suggesting that more than one way of showing how to do things would help out.

I agree 100 man...
coolptut's youtube videos of how to root my phone where the most helpfull to me. there is a part one and part two. but then again I think they were more helpfull than here only because it said to copy/past the text to type into terminal emulator into notepad first so it was easier to see the spaces and such. I tried a few times before following the xda thread but kept making typos I guess becuase it never worked.

man thats just wrong...
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
But i can not seem to keep a H Signal for very long before it keeps going back to 3G.
and it has only started happening since installing VillainROM 3.4!.
When i am on the net it works fine, but when i am not active for about 10seconds is drops connection..
and this is a real problem when i am using Soccer Centre and i have to come out the program and back in for it to active H again..
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks
Marc

Flash the latest radio (my sig) if you have not already got it.
If you do then reflash it
@Redpizzi
Please do NOT start new threads with Villain issues. PLEASE use the Villain thread.
Regarding to your issue, flash the latest radio again like Lenny said.
Thanks Lennyuk, will try that...i have the latest rom, but will re-install it..
Like i am sat here and the icon is 3G - but when i load up internet or market then it changes to H, then if i leave it for a few mins it goes back to 3g....i thought i might have been a battery saving thing in the rom or in the 2.1 FW....
Thanks again
And Phanes / ermacwins. i got that answer i needed, and now other people dont have to look though 700 pages of posts to find the same answer if they have that problem.
So sorry if you dont like it but it is how i have done thing in forums for 20 years...
@Redpizzi
... didn´t know that there where forums and INTERNET in 1990 ...
I don´t think I want to give you a hand in the future ...

awesome, continue like that and ppl who are actually interested in DEVELOPING will have to go through 700 threads of noob mistakes before they find something interesting. and no, there was no internet 20 years ago. if you had at least 20 days of forum experience you might have learned to post in the correct section...
Forums - are not just related to the internet -forums have been around for a long time people.
Phanes you never gave me a hand anyway...
I asked for some help and i got the help i asked for. Fine i should not have but VillainROM in the Thread - but when i posted in the Villain thread before about another problem it never got answered.
Job is a good one, just dont need people ermacwins/Phanes and the **** kendong2 trying to noob bash.
I dont give a **** how many posts you have done, i have been here since 2005 and help when i can no matter where the ****ing post is....
The main man Lennyuk gave me am answer and i will try that. if that does not work, then please just direct me to the right place, DONT start giving me **** for it.
END OF CURRENT THREAD - DELETE IF YOU WANT...
****ing hate people trying to noob bash.....
so if you are that know-it-all guy that has done it all forever and before everybody else, why is it asked too much that you stick to the rules like everybody else does?
and for the record: you are the only one flaming around here, i for example never called anyone a **** around here.
Yer i was flaming cause i asked for help and instead i got noob bashes trying it on..so dont piss me off again, and drop it.....no more slagging off the topic, will ask for help elsewhere
Now the problem has not been solved, so i am gonna try another rom to see if that has the same problem. i have even parked right next to my local Antenna.....
Thanks again Lennyuk
Well not familiar with forum rules but agree with OP that it's nightmare to browse through all the posts when there are 50+ (most of them repetitive and useless) replies on single day.
and just realised that i added one now.........

well this topic is not repetitive not useless and if it was against the forum rules then i cannot see why..
260 views mean people are interested untill they find out omeone needs help.
tell me about it. Asked something earlier and the same two were right on queue, no help at all, complaining like I just shat in their cereal. There really is no need for that.
Obviously I'm new to these forums, but been around many other forums for years and years, when I read their response I was literally like oh here we go, I guess this is just another one of those elitist forums, full of mod wannabes and keyboard warriors. Thats until helpful people like lenny weighs in and restores some faith.
Let us know how you get on with reflashing the radio Redpizzi, I have this same "problem", I thought thats just how it was since I got the hero not long ago, and the internet was like that before I flashed it with a custom rom as well. Its minor though but would be good to get the best out of the phone.
your thread was moved by a mod and you still don't get it? so you are also resistant to learning?
well, i guess we have to blame your parents, for not raising you right. other kids have learned not to talk in between while adults are talking.
you guys are so annoying, ive never seen such ganging on someone for simply a post, so cut the crap and either tell him wat he wants or not.
I've also had this issue and the latest radio hasnt resolved it either, I'm also having trouble with slow internet and reception cutting and coming back, ive tried all the 2.1 eris and legend roms and found that behero is the one with the least issues but still isnt all that perfect, i still get cut off sometimes and find no reception, so for the wifi aswell.
kendong2 fair enough if its was in the wrong forum, as im new here I thought something customrom related goes here in the development forum.
the mod moved the thread I thought nothing of it, you on the other hand must've thought it was a personal victory for you and thought it was the equivalent of a public spanking lol. Did you somehow think you were secretly pulling the strings by pointing it out?
Is your whole ambition to be a mod on here or something? just to point out where people are posting wrong and try to insult them lol. Just from a few posts I find it hard to believe that you have any friends. I wont be surprised if you're actually some 13 year old who gets bullied everyday at school and trying to get your power trip on the internet. Next thing you know you'll be pointing out spelling mistakes and missed capital letters. Get a life you loser cos this forum is obviously all you have. You really give this forum a bad name. you're on a phone forum but I doubt anyone ever rings your phone.
Just knock it off. It´s really enough now.
Why don´t you accept that WE how we care about those issues want to see the issues posted IN THE THREAD not somewhere else.
It is done for you guys, for those who have issues and not being able to help themselves.
And stop this passive/aggressive game.
fair enough phanes. he started getting personal first so could only return like for like.
but you do have to concede for new users some things on here are not just there in plain sight to be found out. Not just a simple search away. There's a 700 page thread and everything else is in technobabble. Its simple and intuitive for you cos you already know it. Its like telling someone to learn how to do keyhole surgery by just telling them to read a book. Not even a specific book, just "a" book.

yeah right, because it was me calling ppl a "****" around here. read my posts, i point people out where they are wrong, and usually offer help in the very same post. you are complaining that you can not learn if nobody explains it to you, yet when i explain what you did wrong you still complain. seriously dude, it is not that bad to make mistakes, and i never blamed anyone for that (prove me wrong otherwise!), but it is bad if you don't accept that you made a mistake and learn from it. the fact that about ten threads got moved from the dev section to general or q&a in the last week alone is proof enough that everybody is just posting whatever he wants whereever he wants. i don't think i am secretly pulling any strings (actually i don't even know what you are trying to say...?), and it was for sure not a personal victory, all i did was one neutral post about the thread being in the wrong forum. if you can not deal with critics about your behaviour then you shouldn't come to the internet. go to your gazillions of friends, if they support that behaviour. this is a community, and if it is asked too much from you to stick to the most simple, general rules (that apply to ALL forums on the internet btw!) you won't find people to be that helpful. and obviously you need help.
you have contributed absolutely zero so far, except spamming the dev forum and flaming around here, you think you make friends like that? if it wasn't for lenny and his endless patience you'd still be crying like a little baby whose toy is broken...
http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/mob/1929053266.html
hes selling this and not saying thank you or anything. he should give credit to xda!!!!
Damn... sorry to see this
Fell pity of people who take credit for others hard work..!!!
That guy should you shot dead..!!!/
I dont really see the problem here, you are paying for a service, like getting an oil change. Sure you could do it yourself, but if you're lazy & dont have the time/intelligence, let someone else do it for $15. I dont see him "taking credit" for anything here.
Uh... I don't see anything wrong with this. I mean it's like goin to Midas for a car fix here.
Honestly the fact that he is helping others isn't a negative thing. It's not like we own these methods but share them amongst each other.
as we can see, everyone has different opinions regarding this, and i've seen before it quickly becoming a flame war...
Closing thread before this becomes the same.
