GSD?? - Hero CDMA General

Has anyone actually figured out what that is?
I was wondering, with the new 2.1 roms, every now and then it will poll the market to see if you have any apps that have been updated and give a notification that updates are available.
Could the GSD be doing that? Or does anyone know what does that check?

I'm running with this removed and I still get the Market notifications, so I dont think that is what it is. I've heard its an HTC testing application... I haven't really looked into it either but it doesn't seem important.

I got this from the first post of Flipz latest rom. About what GSD is.
◦GSD (HTC test program that was draining battery)
This is listed under the Items that he has removed.

app Update already into the system?

Playing around with the latest Androidbuild 1.1 holiday, I found something new to me
maybe I was just to used to atrackdog, that I did not notice this before, anyway .... I'm happy now
(note is under myDownloads in the market)
yup, it's a new feature in the ADP and RC33 updates
pretty handy tbh!
i love this new feature but i use the app sd card hack and my apps dont show up in the market downloads so i dont get notified. if anyone knows how to fix this that would be great.

Just reinstall them so that they appear in your downloads.

*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.
Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)
this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.
Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.
I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.
I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.
Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

the only side effects that i could imagine is that t-mobile might try to push it back to you.
dude! i totally forgot, its gotta be metamorph. because i remember my market worked and all, then right before going to bed i messed with a bunch of metamorph mods(not themes) and then today i try the market and boom doesnt work..
EDIT:
Screw it. I just uninstalled it.

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

Facebook>?

Has anyone been able to find a way to make Facebook update properly on the HD2 these days?
I cannot see any of my recent wall posts, photos etc.
Thanks.
I've also been having this same problem. I had to log out and re-log back in to refresh the updates. I don't know why it's been doing this.
log out log in again every time you want it to update or you can use the client build into the browser. Been fudged up for a few weeks now
Logging in and out does not seem to work for me oddly enough.
Seems like such a simple program.
I know they are working on new security, interfaces, certificates and the like, but...really...this is as rudimentary a facebook experience as one can get and I find it very strange that it has not been addressed with an update in the marketplace.
Glad to see that some others here have had their troubles start with this around the same time I did.
No, not happy for your woes...just nice to know I am not alone!
Install the version NOT from the Marketplace or the one that came preinstalled on the HD2. Its the same version according to about, but for some reason, this version for me has been working fine for around a week where as the others won't update and haven
t updated for me for almost a month.

I appreciate the heads-up, but where is this version "not from the marketplace" to be found?
You can get it directly from Facebook, or from Windowsmobile.com.
can you post the facebook cab you are using?
Yeah why not? Get it while its hot!

this is an older version of the app.. the current version is 1.1.0.17
Well that is the latest version that I could find. Its the same as the one here..but the functionality is basically the same despite the version number.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx
the version off of the market place is 1.1.0.17 the one on the phone was older than that by a long shot as it was 1.0.0.0.7 or something like that
Which is very true, but they both offer the same features and functionality so the version differenece seems prettty trivial to me.
while the features are similar the PQ is loads better on the new app....no more low res crap pix.......

does installing this version fix the refreshing issue or no??
Nothing seems to fix it. The ONLY way I can get on Facebook on my HD2 now, is to use XDA-Facebook...which is a better application anyway in my opinion. I think the problem is with Facebook itself, not the app but I cannot confirm this.

From what I've read it's a Microsoft issue. FB changed some **** and Microsoft has yet to develop an update to make their facebook app work with facebook. I guess FB let Android, Iphone, etc know the changes were coming and Microsoft just doesn't care about our Winmo 6.5 software enough to work on it. There are some threads on the internet about this where people are wigging the hell out over it. Saying they will never buy another winmo phone because of it. It's kinda funny.
The FB app on my phone hasn't worked for over a month. Do I care? Not that much. The FB app on my iphone 2G works just fine.

Ditto. The Facebook app has never worked for me. As soon as I enter my user information the app will update my news feed, photos, and status ONCE. Ever since, I have found that the mobile version of FB is excellent for what I need. I it doubt that the app will ever be updated.

Google Earth: 2.1 ROMS (Syndicate/Epic Experience/Baked Snack, etc)

Hi,
I'm at the end of my patience here. I've had all 3 of these roms installed, and they all work great, except that google earth NEVER shows up in the market. I found a google_earth.apk, and Installed it from ES File Manager, and it works except when I try to clear the cache, or change any of the layers. And on the first attempt it crashes but 2nd or more, it will work if no settings are changed. I've already tried to fix permissions in clockwork but to no avail. Any suggestions?
From what I've read by searching Google, I think Google actually removed this from the market for some reason.
EDIT: Either that or they've changed it to 2.2 and above only. Haven't used 2.2 yet so I'm not sure if its there or not.
well then I guess I should be happy with what works??? lol! But if anyone wants the file, here it is. See what you can do with it.

I'm on the 2.2 Beta and its in the market for me. so if you really can't locate it in the market then i would assume you are right in that its only for froyo now. in which case you can probably install an earlier version of google earth and run it without any problems. i'lll see if i can find one in one of my old backups somewhere if you would like.
I would really appreciate that!

I doubt that would work, since you have to connect to google servers to run the program and they force you to use the most current version.
Worst case scenario you will get it when the official 2.2 is out, won't be long.
randomly now it works without any problems. strange.
Probably put it 2.2 only for the size. I still have ir installed on 2.1 and it works fine, I can pull the apk later and pay it If anyone wants it.

GingerBread 2.3.4 SMS/MMS delivery report issue

I recently upgraded my Atrix to GB 2.3.4 (official 4.5.91) and found that the SMS/MMS settings has changed. I could not find the option "Delivery report" anymore. And my phone now always indicates the pending (a clock) icon on side of every outgoing sms, though it really has been delivered already.
Anyone else got this problem? Is this a bug from GB 2.3.4 from Google or Motorola??
Pls someone check this for me?

The delivery report option was missing for me since the beginning. I never had it in Froyo
It works fine in 2.2.2 and now after 2.3.4 OTA update its gone - no app can turn it on. I tryed to edit settings.mkitso from 0 to 1 (turn on SMS delivery) even try to use special characters but no way to get delivery report even in such apps like headcent sms and go sms which are used own settings for this option. Looks like it kernel or radio based thing that just filter off delivery reports! ((
Yeah, I spent rather much time to search and try some solutions to fix but failed to all.
So, now its really a bug from new kernel, I think.
I just created this thread to collect confirmations from people and hope Moto or developers fix it soon
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Agree! Ready to sign petition )
Bump for this, I'm seriously missing delivery reports.
Is it a radio thing?
any info if it works in custom 2.3.4 roms ?
No update for this issue
This is a basic function of any GSM mobile phone. But I cannot understand why they guys from Motorola decide to remove it from a smartphone as Atrix? Ist it unnecessary??
Edit: Hi nice developers,
Could you guys check and fix this problem?

I'm using Cherryblur 1.4d and checking the settings, it doesn't have the options to send sms reports.
Besides that my messages is ok.
of course its not it stock sms messaging - any third side apps - headcent sms or GoSMS have this flag.
I tried different versions of radio module -it doesn't solve the problem.
I'd like to bump this again, really miss this feature.
Please can a dev look into it and find out what's missing from the GB roms. Thanks.

Yeah, just noticed the same problem as well. Atrix on 2.3.4 (pre-installed), rooted. No delivery reports for me, using GoSMS pro.
Another bump for this....really need someone to figure this out. I'll put a bounty up - let's start a fund.
I also want this feature. Why on Earth would anybody want to remove this option??
Sorely missing this.. I don't get any types of confirmation anymore.. It really sucks when you are in a fight with your girlfriend....
Even if It sends.... and I long press on it, there is only a message details option, no delivery or read report anymore... WTF??
I am using CM7.1 on an HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G). I am going to download a nightly of CM and see if this fixes it at all.
hello people! I have the same problem Atrix staff figured it would arrange with GOSMS, but no one can solve this problem?
