Well it's definitly there in the German ROM.
Can't make screen shots right now.
First you can see the homezone display as a today plugin which enables itself when you are in the homezone.
And there is a little icon on the upper right side of the dialer screen if you are in your homezone.

Homezones are based on BTAs?

forum.xda-developers.com

There is only one Homezone (but 3 would be cool) with o2 Germany and city zone is still existant in old plans like mine.
But city zone doesn't get displayed but it doesn't get displayed in other UMTS phones either. I'll get a small voice notification when I start a call now.

My cellular phone can show name of city i'm actually in. Is this similair to homezone?

Rogers mobiTv on my Cingular 8525

Hi everybody,
I have my Cingular 8525 unlocked that I m currently using with Rogers. It's all set with MMS, email, and internet
The Cingular 8525 comes also with mobiTv but if I click on the prog it proposes me the mobitv service from USA by default.
There is no way so far that I can change the url by default, the program is in the Rom of the device and the only way I guess, will be to touch the register key of my Cingular 8525 .
I know that my device is not officially supported by Rogers but i m sure that we can find the way to make it happen
If anyone have an idea, may be a app that i can download from Rogers , or to give me the right url for this service from my device, let me know
Thank you in advance for your help

Nobody ?

Well, I'm a bit puzzled. According to MobiTV site it is only available in the US.
"Cingular customers: if you prefer, you may purchase MobiTV directly from your MediaNet device menu by selecting Entertainment / More Sites / MobiTV.
Product Features
Channels you know from home like ABC News Now, CSPAN, and FOX Sports (click here for the full channel lineup)
High quality video
Graphical channel guide with programming information
Full screen viewing option
Touchscreen and 5-way navigation
Note: Service available in U.S. only. Data charges apply. We strongly recommend you have an unlimited data plan with your carrier before buying MobiTV.
Click here for Support
As it costs $9.99 / month, I'm sure they give you a programme download which would replace the one you have IF it works elsewhere.

I believe Handango or another major PPC software vendor sold these, and billed you directly. This was before but you could try.

Not allowed in Canada...

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) -- our equivalent of the US FCC -- does not allow the re-transmission of broadcast material by unlicenced carriers, so no MobiTV in Canada until the rules are changed (which I am sure will happen at some point in the future -- Canada usually follows the US' lead).

Not quite true you lot
I'm running my Softbank with ATT_MobiTv and ATT_XMRadio rom. It's only a 3 day trial but I get all the US channels A-Ok. Just don't see a way to switch to other networks/countries.
Mobitv is also available on Rogers. Mobitv is the technology used by Rogers for the streaming video applications.
You don't have to believe me just check the MobiTv website.
http://www.mobitv.com/channels/channels.php
A number of providers and channel listings there.
Now back to the original problem of changing channel lineups. Is it prgram based or a setting? Only the ATT_mobitv cab seems tobe out in the wild.

Thanks to everyboddy for your answers
For some reason i didnt recieve any notice for your replies
It seems that some guys succed to make it work
Actually pretty much all the services that Roger offer now, vison
, xm radio, mobitv etc.. seems to work on the tytn I. i havnt tried yet and i m looking for the the cab files if available?
the tytn II should come pretty soon at Rogers and i wonder if the video call will be unable and the apps for the tv , xm radio etc...\
just got the tytn I from rogers and install wm6 on it , just need to find some one who would like to help me to try the video call.. if their is any seeting to change for that ?
i got the Internet , mms working perfectly
Something else i need?
However my internet home page by defaut is from htc website , do anyone know the on for rogers and how to set it up by defaut?
thank you again

Make it simple: try to find a ROGERS ROM version of your Hermes and reflash it!

tried for weeks no chance, just took the official rom from htc and find the cab on this forum from rogers..
i keep looking , but thanks

does it matter witch new rom update to install

You might want to poke around a little bit before you put any UK ROM on your AT&T Xperia.
Somebody started a thread just recently saying that it interfered with GPS, for one thing.
And in any event, I think I'd put the generic UK ROM on, not the Vodafone one, if you finally decide that it's the right thing to do.
Why, exactly, are you trying to do this?

Please
Please, in the name of all that is holy, DONT put the Vodafone ROM on a phone that doesn't ABSOLUTELY have to have it. It's the biggest pile of CRAPWARE that exists. I swear, Vodafone enjoy receiving their phones back for repair because they mess up the firmwares that bad.
Every Vodafonebranded phone i have been unfortunate enough to have has been debranded the second I got it.
Just a couple of things they messed up in the X1.
Bottom right hotkey ALWAYS goes to Vodafone LIVE
Any addresses (such as LIVE mail (hotmail) will not work through WIFI because Voda forced the firmware to redirect all "live" requests through Voda WAP/3G/GPRS
MSN Messenger will not work by WIFI, it is forced to connect to Vodafone WAP
Various PANELS have been replaced with Vodafone crapware.
Bottom right softkey in Radio is not working because Voda LIVE key overtakes it.

Actually it goes to your HOMEPAGE, which can be changed in Opera. You can also rename the screen text to Web in the registery.

Pretty sure the right softkey on all the ROMs do whatever the right softkey on the Today panel (which is different to what the manual says).
Although the forcing the MS Live services over the WAP apn only is a bit stupid.

Missing Features

Hi I just ordered my HTC magic from vodafone, though I have since discovered 2 missing features since.
The first is the circular zoom has been removed from cupcake so not vodafones fault.
Also I hear that the voice search has also been removed.
Can someone with the magic confirm these or point out any other features missing from the G1 or features that may have been demonstrated on the videos demonstrating the Magic.

yes..i'm comfirm

there's more!!
I just got my htc magic yesterday and when I turned it on, it was missing HTC DIALER and the HTC SYNC for android as well.
I'd thought they were included in the package and the phoning screen is different to the demo on the website as well. Not that its the end of the world but at least when you sell something make it clear on what you're getting.

are the described applications like pdf reader, word/excel/power point compability, Microsoft exchange. Enabled?

Not on the Voda variants... but they will be on the HTC release. Typical Network customisation?

I also heard that latitude is missing from google maps.
I am not too worried about these features missing as either, I never use them or apps on the market place can be used instead. Getting my magic on monday.

Latitude is included and works great : -)
Typed on my HTC Magic

My magic is due to arrive on Monday. I am like a lot of others a Kaiser running Android and liked the experience so jumped ship. So what do you think of the magic?

vodafone e-forum
Yeah, we were discussing this on the Vodafone eforum. (thanks to haykuro for proving that things have been left out).
Its quite funny, when we started (on wednesday) the forum was completely open, but in 4 days of posting, we have had external links removed, and now they are moderating every post before it gets published, so they're clearly not happy with us discussing what's missing :/

agree,they been deleting 3 of my posts after about less then 5 minutes that they were up,so how can we get some right answers??
anyway is a disgrace ,so much words on the "OPEN SOURCE" and then some cool features are missing.
i do understand that android need to be modify to fit different phones like the samsung I7500 were on the camera setting there is a extra setting for the flash on/off. but no voice dialling??? i do drive for work so for me is a must feature, no pdf and so on.
i been criticizing the iphone and i don't want bite my tongue.
i hope voda is gone find a solution to all that or we will be forced to jailbreak it if we can get all the features and benefit of the android platform .
should we complain direct to Google as their adverts about android is misleading???????

Sorry I couldn't find discussion on VodaUK forum with links to these apps. on Haykuro's website there are no apps, just Magic port to G1.
Or am I missing something?Is it possible to install HTC Sync on Magic?

Does anyone know how to undo some of the Vodafone restrictions in place on the Magic or revert to the original HTC setup?
Here's a few of the features that I was expecting to see
Rotate Animation - shrink to small image then expand to fit orientation
Menu on lanscape mode
Support for word, exel, pdf etc
Support for Microsoft Exchange
Activesync
Voice activated dialling plus apps

I hoped that this was included too.... but its only on the org. HTC Magic.

Hope to see the HTC Magic rom soon.

does the phone support T9 or will the only method of entry is basic Qwerty keyboard?

getting the missing app back from this ??
Can't we concentrate on helping this guy to get the firmware out of his pre release magic to get the missing app from our VF magic back? ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494535
He's uploaded the system folders on the web but he is still to find a way to get the system dump out. . .. i'm not really too much into android and don't really understand much of it, but can't we get the rom from this phone and get it into VF then we'll be happy with our phone and enjoy it with the rest of our contract ??
I'd like to see htc syn, Microsoft office and active sync back into my vf magic too

[Q] Need someone to clarify some things.

Can someone tell me if the HTC Snap from Telus and the Maple from Wind are the same, cause they both look different Also will the roms in this section work on both if or if not.

Yes they're the same. The snap is a Maple form factor, the only differences are some of the buttons are slightly different IE: on the Dash 3g (aka snap, maple), the inner circle key from the sprint or verizon snap is replaced with a generic shortcut key. Some of the other keys are moved around abit too. Mainly the camera and message keys. Everything else is the same.
Going from snap to maple wind the proprietary software such as inner circle or MyFaves (Dash 3G) will be different as well. It all depends on the provider whom HTC designed the phone for. Hope this helps. Concerning the ROM you'll have to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=502
Make ABSOLUTELY SURE the rom is the correct one for your phone. The 3vo rom I have is the newest build for our phone types too. You'll see things like Inner Circle and MyFaves services if you flash the rom, but MyFaves is disabled by default in the UITweaks section of the ROM. You'll still have the software but A) it won't be visible and B) it won't be functional since you're not with T-mobile. As I said before though, just make damn sure the ROM you flash is the correct one for your phone and the phone should theoretically do the rest.

Thanks for the info. So basically in short form, if i had a Snap the rom should have Snap in the title. Same goes for the Maple and Dash?

Yup that's about the size of it. If you really want to know what kind of form factor your phone is do this: Power the phone down completely and look under the battery. On the back panel it should say something along the lines of MAPL100 or similar. Whatever the beginning is wil be what type of phone you have. I think Cedar says CEDA100 or something. But yeah, that's about it.

One very important difference between the two is that the WIND HTC Maple is a GSM/UMTS band phone whereas the Telus HTC Snap is a GSM/CDMA phone.

Thanks for the added info Ziv, I have a dash 3g which is a maple form factor. I had no clue about those particular differences!
