Hi all, I'm a newbie to HTC PPC's, and I've got to port a soft initially written for the HTC Universal on a HTC Apache. This soft provides a few non real-time services like chat and presence, and real-time applications like VoIP and legacy calls. I don't want to change anything to those applications, just make them work in a CDMA network context. The soft uses the windows mobile connection manager component to identify which connection to use, so I guess I will be forced to modify this part to enable CDMA connections. But I've no idea if there will be any major compatibility problem between those two devices for my soft, because for example of changes in the windows mobile API supported in the HTC Apache. I would be glad if someone could help me to identify the risks that exists in this attempt of porting.
Thanks a lot,
Antoine
How deep down to the hardware dos your app go?
Generally windows connection manager and windows sockets completely obscure the actual details of the cellular network so it should make no difference what so ever for the program if it is working with GSM, CDMA or WiFi.
If you are using RIL to actually send commands to the modem that would be a different story.
Unfortunately I have very little knowledge with this but my suggestion would be looking up CDMA mode commands in google as a start.
Normally, the soft only relies on the windows mobile connection manager API for connections, and the TAPI for calls. In fact, I was asking myself about the impacts on the display of my HMI on this new device or the codec issues...
Hi folks I currently own a TG01 but thts going back tomorrow with numerous faults, I have been chosen to have eith this Hero or a LG km900, I do like this Hero tho because of Sky maps and the OS, question is is it possible to browse the internet on the computer vis data cable etc from the Hero?
Regards
Mark.
with ubuntu it is a piece of cake, should be with windows too. idk whether root is needed (don't think so), or if the feature is disabled in branded roms.
You're able to share you're mobile (internet) network with your pc so yes, even in windows it's easy and you don't need root.
You do need root for wifi tethering
Hi!
I thought I'd start a thread where we can iron out problems everyone seems to have with the Hero 200. Googling these things yields some spotty results, and one main website for cricket/metropcs flashing info is currently down. (The mobile files.com site)
Here's what I've come across as a newcomer to the Hero, trying to get it set up for rooting, flashing to another carrier like cricket, etc... If it's ok for this thread to stay around, I'd be happy to go back and edit this post with the answers to these problems and/or links to websites that have specific solutions that work. (Some of the problems I'll list here, I've already figured out but I don't have time at the moment to go ahead and put the solution in.)
Terminology http://thecricketmafia.com/free-beginners-guide-to-modifying-repairing-and-flashing-phones/
Problem 1 - Installing the correct version of HTC Sync and HTC Drivers so that the PC recognizes the Hero.
Problem 2 - Rooting the Hero. (An excellent guide for this is available here in this forum, but for completeness sake, I've listed the problem.)
Solution 2 Theresthatguy made an excellent guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583291
Problem 3 - Getting a COM port assigned to the Hero and installing the HTC DIAG drivers so that qPST and CDMA Workshop will work.
Problem 4 - The "Broadband Workaround Trick" people refer to, where you can use a Cricket Broadband account to backdoor your way into internet access on the Hero.
Problem 5 - Flashing a CDMA Hero 200 to Cricket/MetroPCS for talk and text
Solution 5 (in progress, not fully solved yet) Here's a cached, text only version of the only thing I've found about this... http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache...+cricket&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=us&strip=1
Problem 6 - Flashing a CDMA Hero 200 to Cricket/MetroPCS for SMS/internet
Solution 6 (in progress, not fully solved yet) It would seem that to do this, the first thing in the process is to get CDMA Workshop and qPST, and probably at least one other program, up and running and communicating with the phone. However, just getting Windows (Windows 7 in my case) to install the drivers is keeping me and many others from getting started!
Problem 7 -
If I've missed a thread on here where someone has already consolidated this info, then my apologies! Flashing to Cricket, getting a COM port assigned and loading HTC DIAG drivers, and the Broadband trick, as well as finding a way to enable SMS and/or internet are my problems for the moment. I'm sure I can figure out most of my questions if I could just get Windows to install the HTC DIAG drivers! I've even tried setting up a VMPlayer with WinXP on it, but I gave up out of frustration last night and am waiting for some time to try again.
By the way, is it just me or is the Wifi really weak in this device? My Dell Axim x51v picks up stronger signals from the Wireless G Router next door to me and it's only a wireless-B adapter!
I'm needing this to work. The Droid Incredible to connect to QPST properly. All phones so far have been connecting to QPST as "Surf" something or another. Even if you read up about the Evo and QPST it shows up as SURF and is allowed to be modded any way.
The Droid Incredible, atleast mine shows up as something different and is very lacking in things able to be changed.
The Phone shows up as QCT-6200. And only allows Minimal Changes, Settings, CDMA, System, Roam, Sounds, Features, Phone Book and Data are the only avail. tabs. And even they are limited. I have not changed a thing in any of these with fear of crippling the phone with the wrong settings.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the phone to react with QPST the proper way? Someone on here tried claiming that all the settings of the phone like MIP and stuff like that can be changed with QPST (I know thats its natural function as I have flashed hundreds of phones in my time) but the kid was unwilling to tell me how the phone is able to interact with QPST in order to do so.
Anything I need to change on the phone or within the settings of QPST?
mine shows up as:
FFA/SURF QSD8650 Rev 2.0
I didn't do anything special. just installed drivers from latest htc sync.
What version QPST you using? Cause I've been trying and trying and cannot get the phone to load up to QPST as anything other than what I said. If I could get it running the way you do, I'd be soo f'n happy.
I'm on 2.7 Build 301.
I use ##DIAG and then connect USB. And it shows up as QCT-6200.
You can understand why I'd be scared to mess with things if the phone is not connecting properly.
***EDIT*** Well I just upgraded to a newer version, not much newer and it works now! FFA/SURF QSD8650 Rev 2.0! Everything works.
Quick guide, if you follow step by step is easy. Please do not brick your phone because of your curiosity , DO NOT write any NV Items then the ones that are in the guide, DO NOT alter any other numbers in MEMORY VIEWER. and DO NOT I repeat DO NOT eh nothing .
Enjoy, i got this off ebay about a month ago.
**Dont download the files, google the following.
CDMA Workshop 2.7
QXDM 3.11
QPST
Should be self explanatory. And to skip the first 2 steps, just call Boost Mobile and tell them "My phone does not have service, I think I need to reprogram it"
And they will provide you the MSL when they tell you to dial ##123456# (123456= your msl)
OP Edit:I have uploaded a new Guide, which does not include the "illegal" method of swapping/changing your esn. It does however include ESN/MEID Locations, and how to obtain the ESN/MEID Locations.
Update 09/06/12 Here are a list of donor phones that will give you 3G
-Sanyo Incognito
-Samsung Rant
-Samsung Prevail
-Samsung Replenish
-LG Rumor Reflex
-HTC Evo 4G Design (4G as well)
NO OTHER DONOR PHONE TO THIS DATE 09/06/12 IS A SUITABLE DONOR FOR 3G
I will be updating this list
**For the commands in QXDM or how to change the ESN, google it.

go to Device Manager and look at the ports to verify which one your sanyo is connected to. Make sure that you are connecting to the correct port in CDMA Workshop. It is possible to connect to a port in CDMA workshop that your phone is not on.
ok. i find out already. tnx.
it was com4 but device manager shows com3
now i am stuck with htc diag drivers, they are only for winxp?
I have them installed on a Windows 7 machine. But if you are able to connect to cmda workshop then drivers should be installed fine.

Here are all the drivers I have. If you are using a Sanyo branded phone you can only use WinxP 32 bit.

Yeah Boost 3G is very slow from time to time, it depends on where you live really. I have a HTC Incredible flashed to boost and I live in Bronx, NY (Borough of NYC) and I only get about 200kbps but when I go downtown to work in the inner part of the city i get up to 2000kbps.

the guide says it... only winxp will work with incognito. use VMWare or dualboot WinXP, is always good to have WinXP
so for every evo i want to flash to boost i would have to get a doner phone right?
