Help with my Vogue on android....

Okay So I am pulling my hair out here... I just booted android on my Vogue for the first time, everything works great, voice calls and sms.. But I can get a Inet connection but I am using Cricket not sprint so I added the username and password lines in default.txt and can connect, but Cricket uses a proxy for all http connections. So I found this article http://fggarcia.blogspot.com/2007/11...-emulator.html , which basicly says to use the adp app that comes in the sdk to add some lines to make the proxy. NOW, here is my problem... I can not for the life of me get my come (in windows or linux) to see my vogue while its in android..
In windows it does not appear ANYWHERE in the device manager... So I cannot install the driver, and in Linux it doesnt make a blip in dmesg..... USB debugging is marked and so is use adb....
It does charge when plugged in to the comp running linux.....
Can anyone please help me... And thanks to DZO and everyone else for there hard work on this project..

Did you use Togga (app installed in Android). Something tells me you didn't.

Yes I am using Toga, I go in and click connect and it says it is connected... is there anything else I need to do after that?

I think I misunderstood what you were asking. Are you trying to tether it with your computer? If so, that isn't possible.

No I only wanted USB to use adb to add the proxy settings in a db, I tried that but it still didn't work. My Provider uses a proxy (wap.mycricket.com:8080) for all http connections. I Have Toga working and it will connect, but without the proxy info nothing can access the web... Please if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks ahead of time.

you can use an app called anycut to add shortcuts to whatever you like to the desktop- one of these being PROXY settings shortcut, but it doesn't let you authenticate! i thought that was what the lines in default.txt were for, but alas...
i have tried the squlite3 method from the terminal and this failed as well :/

I just edited the default "android" APN setting in the connections options. Only changed info needed like user name, password, proxy, port - i think thats it. It now allows me to connect to the net, but for some odd reason wont allow me to sync with my google account.

Step by Step Guide on Making Blackberry Connect work on Touch Pro 2 + Multiple APN's

I have been seeing various posts on people struggling to make BBConnect work on HTC Touch Pro 2 a.k.a Rhodium and thought I would put down a step by step guide from various posts put down through this forum So rejoice all you HTC Touch Pro 2 owners like me BB Connect is finally working and so is Multiple APN's. I have BB Connect Enterprise and GPRS connecting simultaneously and its showing up on the notifications manager.
This step by step solution is thanks to Cornholio, Absahnen & NRGZ8(The Master Chef who cooks wonderful ROms across devices)
So Here Goes
Step I: GET YOURSELF A NEW ROM:
Trying to install Blackberry Connect is very buggy on most of the stock ROMS and will keep on failing. So go and get yourself the latest NRGZ8 ROM for Rhodium I am using Build 21877 27th Nov Standard Manila 2.1. The ROM is anyway faster with almost no bugs and free of Junk that you see on standard ROMS
download the ROM from this link:
http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Step2: CHANGE AKU SETTINGS
This change is needed to make BB Connect work on WinMo 6.5 ROMS.
Using a registry editor go to HKLM/System/Versions
There you will see the aku key usually on any WinMo 6.5 ROM its .5.xx.xx change the aku value to .1.6.0(.1.6.3 didnt work, the connection was getting dropped)
Step 3: FOOLING YOUR BB CONNECT SOFTWARE TO THINK YOUR DEVICE IS A RAPHAEL
The Rhodium is not yet supported by RIM and looks like they have withdrawn support for further devices. Therefore you need the BB connect to believe that your Touch Pro 2 is a Touch Pro i.e. Your Rhodium is a Raphael. To do this you have to make registry changes you can use any registry editor I used Resco Registry Editor which loads when you load Resco Explore on your device To do this follow the steps below very carefully, using the registry editor
Instructions:
------------
- Uninstall any BB Connect software if you loaded.
- Attached find a rar file which contains SetModelID.exe. Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Using any registry editor of your choice navigate to HKLM\init Create a new String Value with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number greater than 130, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe isnt started after every softreset.
- Do a softreset
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.
- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the BB Connect desktop app
STEP 4: ENABLING MULTIPLE APN'S
This will allow you simultaneously have an active BBConnect and a GPRS connection active at the same time
Go to:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
or do a google search for your specific operators MCC/MNC nos
Create the two DWord Value Entries below if they arent there:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
And voila you will have multiple connections running simultaneously you can get your BB Mails as well as see Youtube videos over GPRS. I managed to do this over a frustrating 48 hour period and I thought will share this for anyone seeking an answer.
Cheers and enjoy

Man! The guide looks great! but it makes my brain hurt!!! Arggg!!!
(Hardly understand some part of the guide.)
: )

Heres my step by step, plus all the software and a cab called black berry that someone else kindly put together for me that does all the registry steps (and makes the multiple APN switch for TMOB US). (BTW this has worked on EVERY ROM I have used, 6.1, 6.5, 6.53, sense 2.1 and 2.5):
['black berry cab' does all these]:
Copy SetModelID.exe into windows
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3 [which works for me]
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\...
Create new ones or edit your relevant operators GPRS and UMTS to 3
[for US find them in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_codes_in_the_United_States]
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Soft Reset
Install BB Settings CAB
(I always create a shortcut in programs from 'BB Settings' in Program Files/Blackberry - its a quick way to run this file later)
Either: Using BB connect desktop for WM 'configure wireless handset' (see below)
Or: get new key generated by your company's tech support and enter them into BB Settings on your device
(Activesync blackberry connect desktop setup can be found at http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bb_desktop_4.0.0.22.zip. I use this becuase YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN KEY and configure your handset again and again which means you dont have to bug tech support every time you burn a new ROM, which I do every few days!)

for some reason I cant upload the blackberry connect cab, so here is the link http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.106.cab
black berry cab is attached.

Well what can I say Mr What 150 was trying to help. The step by step guid is written keeping noobs in mind so that you dont get back Q's on How to do this? and How to do that? and help ppl besides just those in the US who cant use the cab posted here anyways and dont know how to write complicated XML codes.

Thanks a lot patcat!!!
I had my rhodium working with BB connect but no multiple APNs... had to manually suspend BB service and enable GPRS everytime I needed anything from the internet. Those days are gone now!!!
Now, have you ever wondered why is it that BB Messenger, being a Java application, can not be ported to WM and run on our TP2s? I mean, we have our BB data plans, a PIN# and are connected to the Blackberry service.. what else do we need for BB Messenger to work?

You are welcome Roberto. I havent yet come across any cab for BB messenger. There has been talk of a BB application suite to run on WinMo but I havent seen any beta's also of that floating around. If you do come across any BB Messenger cab do post it here or PM me the cab.

Most reliable method
Here is what I do...I think it is the most reliable method....and I have used it with just about every ROM out there and it works...everytime...It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy and after the first ROM flash you will know what do do for any others...I actually learned this from this site and MUCH smarter people than me...so thanks to all those who helped get Blackberry Connect working. Without this site I might still have an 8525 because I need blackberry connect...!
Installing Blackberry connect...this has to happen in this order...
1. Download a ROM
2. Edit the ROM using the information from here, it looks complicated but takes less than a minute essentially you use the program you download to change any reference to Rhodium to Raphael using a search: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html
3. Flash the edited ROM.
4. Install the CAB file I attached it will change the AKU for you...I actually put it in my UC script so it automatically installs before Blackberry Connect...
5. Install Blackberry Connect version 4.0.0.106
Allowing Multiple APN's (This can happen at ANY time)
Follow step four in the original guide or if you are AT&T all you have to do is use a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\Operator Contexts\310410 and change UMTSContextNumber to 2. If you use 2 then you don't have to worry about anything else like deleting the Network Contexts entry....

Works excellently on my TP2 with .106 cab on Vodafone India network at Delhi.
Good work bro, well sorted out steps

Please help me what to do how can I resolve thie issue.

Address book, Sending pictures via Email not available
Hi,
I've got everything working thanks to you guys.
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
No HTML Email viewing.
Is it designed to work like that with BB Connect?

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

I added what I know...it does seem since Blackberry connect is an older program everything ends up like a work around...
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
It won't auto complete. If you click the menu and use the "check Names" feature it will first look in your address book and then if you hit Lookup it will look in the global address book. A little more cumbersome but it works.
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
I have not been able to send photos from the camera in the last several Roms...so I think it is the newer Album that doesn't allow it. You can still send it by attaching it when creating an email, but yes this is a little cumbersome as well...
I only have one email account setup on my device which i

Yes that is correct...

hi there, i have the same problem of not having a pin on my tp2, my carrier says the pin is on the device here is a copy and paste of my carrier web iste when i tried to activate the service
"To find your PIN perform one of the following actions:
* In the BlackBerry device options or settings, click Status.
* Look for the PIN and IMEI information on the outside of the box that your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device came in.
* Turn the BlackBerry device off and remove the battery. Look for the sticker on the BlackBerry device with the PIN information where the battery is usually located."

Nice tutorial, patcat007. On my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM my BB Connect work. Anyway, when I change the AKU to .1.6.3, something happens with graphics in my dialer like in the picture attached. Anyone could help to correct this? Thank's!

Can I change my Hero's ID on a wireless network?

My Hero ID shows up on my wireless network as UNKNOWN, is there a way to change this? I know there was in WinMo, but I can't find anything in Android.
Thanks.

Do you mean the hostname?
I've not tried it but try setting it in /etc/hostname, and add it to the end of the localhost line in /etc/hosts, might work..

Hi Sam, thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean by hostname.
I'm referring to how the phone is identified on a wireless network. With my WinMo devices I gave the phone a name in the Device ID section. Then, when I go to my router, I am able to see IP address, Device Name, and MAC address.
I cannot find any settings in the Hero that allow me to specify a device name, so it always shows up as UNKNOWN on the network.

Linux / unix
Deke
a Hosts file is a file that links IP address with Names... Windows have them UNIX and macs... etc...
its a file you will rarely see in windows. but in unix/linux you very well could.. as Android is based on Linux i beleive the sugesstion mentioned is to edit this file on your phone and ad the Local host (the phone itself) in there with the name you want it to have...
In UNIX (which i use) i can totaly see this working but have no idea if this will work on the phone, and you will need it to be 'rooted'
this means have access to the Administrators privlages to edit files...
(in linux root = Administrator)
there are posts on the forums on how to root your phone and it will open up function to you but at the same time will allow you to happly **** up the system files if you dont know what your doing and make your phone into a nice paperweight...
hope this helps

Hi Bobro; very helpful, thanks.
So basically I can't do something as simple as give my phone a useful ID without rooting it? I would regard that as a fundamental requirement, so it seems a bit foolish to omit the functionality from Android.

[Help] Remote Desktop on HD + Vista HP!

Ive searched and found and searched again and again an again. Im using Vista Home Premium and want to enable Remote Desktop (RD). The first thing I found ofcourse was the not present RD service of Vista HP. I installed the on the internet circulating .bat for Vista HP.
Okay the steps I took:
1. Download and install: Premium.bat from the .zip
2. Enable RD in computer -> properties
2. Open poort 3389 and set it TCP
3. Restarted both HD and laptop
4. Wifi enabled on my HD
5. Started RD: Filled in the following IP in Computername:
\192.168.1.XXX OR \86.92.85.XXX
Dunno which one to use? Local? First is from my Acces Point/Router second is the overall IP, but what do I use?
6. Account: My account on my laptop
7. Password: Password of my account
8. Domain: Dont have one, so blank
Still EVERYTIME I get the error something is wrong and it wont connect. Someone got an answer? I downloaded Remote Touch but it didnt work either.
There was a .reg for premium called TRonPremium.reg but did not apply it yet, dunno what it does and it is a .reg
Please could someone help me cause this is pretty useful for me!

The remote desktop service is enabled by default in vista. No idea why you have needed to install anything extra to get it working. Sounds dodgy to me. Anyways you use the local network ip address, not the external address, and you don't need to open any ports (although on mine I didn't have a firewall enabled on the machine I was accessing, the firewall was on my router). You do need to put in a username and password for the machine you are accessing though. Doesn't need a domain name, as you say, it can be blank.
I'd say the troubles you are having are to do with the dodgy reg and bat files you have downloaded. You shouldnt need anything other than a bog standard vista install to use RD, no matter what version of Vista you have. You may have a service disabled that is required too. If you have disabled any of these previously you may need to have another look at them and re-assess.
reg files add information to registry. If you are unsure you should NEVER add these without knowing exactly what they do. Can be very harmful to your pc. If in doubt, always leave them alone.

Hello
I use UltraVNC on vista,
And .NET VNC Viewer on ppc,
Both free and running without any problem from ppc or any other pc

When I was searching the internet I found multiple website claiming Vista Home Premium does not support the full RD. To solve this according to a few websites, you could install the .bat made to add the correct service. I even found this on XDA threads. How do you re-do a .bat file? Dont know how to work with it.
The .reg im leaving alone, .regs are evil for PCs imo!
Will try it out today, with what you just told me. If it does not work, Ill try the VNC and VNC client, though I heard it was slugish and the connections fails very quick.
Thank! If you still got tips/tricks, be sure to leave them

Ok well my 64bit version of vista home premium had it all enabled so I assumed they all did. Maybe you're using the 32bit one. Seems loads of stuff was disabled in that.
I tried the various VNC programs but gave up with those because the connection kept timing out, and it had more options than was neccessary. I'd say VNC was best if you wanted to connect via the internet, but RD is best for home use.
Good luck with yours I'm sure you'll get it working.

gtablet Device name on the network

Does anyone know how to change the device name on the gtablet? I now have the ablilty to hook me gtablet up to my corporate network, so I went into the DHCP server to make a reservation for the device the name that it displays is andoid_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.mydomain.com replace the X with Hex numbers and letters. I would like to change the name on the device so that other admins know what the device is and don't delete if from the reservation pool.
i was thinking
IpadCrusher.mydomin.com

I too would like to know how to change the hostname (device name).

I still like Viper Tablet for the Viewsonic VEGAn build when ever it goes final!

I would also like to know. I keep getting hassled by my Network Admins because every time I load a new ROM, the "xxxxx" changes and it looks like a new device. Same thing happens with my HTC Incredible Phone.

I'm jealous because I can't even logon to my works corporate network. Device keeps failing to assign an i.p address.
I get connected via wifi if I assign a static address, but android doesn't support http proxy or something, so the username/logon screen never comes up

If you are rooted and have a robust busybox installed, after reboot you could execute the following command:
busybox hostname YourDevice
You could setup a gscript script and run it before you turn on your wifi or download autostart and have your script run automatically after a reboot.

Your network admins actually allow this thing on your corporate network?? Oh my.

In Linux, the computer name is stored in the /etc/hosts file. You might try editing your hosts file and put in:
127.0.0.2 name.site name

If you get a fixed IP address or one with reservation each time you connect to your wifi router, this may work.
I have a home built dd-wrt wireless distribution system at home and was playing with the hosts file to see how my wds interpreted hosts file and it didn't work but that is just my homegrown system. my 2wire router didn't interpret it either (gave the random android_xxxxxxxxxxx device name.
Of course, you could just give them the MAC address of your wireless card which you can get by doing #busybox ifconfig in a terminal session and tell them the name you want and they can create an Arec in the dns names.

Actually, no. However, connecting to MS Exchange with Sync logs the Device ID into Exchange. So, each time I load a different ROM, I log a new ID. Drives them nuts.
I did some research today though and found an app called Android ID Changerthat will allow me to see my DeviceID and modify it. I reinstalled my orginal ROM, recorded the ID, reloaded Vegan and changed the ID to the original device information. Works very well.

I found this post in another forum that may work for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9560696&postcount=1
Please note that if you do use setprop you would have to reset it after each reboot. I think adding a correlating line in build.prop (if one exists) would be a better alternative. Otherwise, they discuss unpacking/repacking the boot.img to make it permanent.

I wouldn't say its on the corprate network, its on the corprate wireless network, I can get to the web and the intranet but that is about it we have it pretty locked down. I have it teathered to my phone most of the day. Its fun to take it to a meeting and have all of the iPad users say is that the new iPad I just laugh and think YOU WISH.
Roebeet I know I have talked about this before with you, I like you would like to get my usb air card working on this bad boy that would solve all fo my connections issues. Im not the smartest guy with linux but I could spend some time if I could find some info about it.
I had found this site a while ago but could not get the drivers to install I'm sure its because we don't have source code.
