Have there been any updates of the HTC Home? Haven't heard anything about it for a very long time.. I assume that HTC hasn't been updating it..
Anybody heard anything?
Also, where would I find a latest version? Still trying to beat that iGo launch problem (yes I know the threads about it, none of that stuff works fully, problem still exists)..
tried to run a search
no news yet

Hmm i guess no one has got this working yet :O
I got an older one from my trinity and works perfectly on my HTC Magic (vodafone version and standard ROM ).
Nothing added.
Controls music and phone calls

The exact same one as in the link above? Chrome control panel, etc?
Exactly the same ... in white
When I plug the remote, nothing appears on the phone, no notification.
When I use the music related buttons, the music player doesn't show but an icon appears in the taskbar to show it's playing music.
Green and red buttons to Answer / make calls work too.
Perhaps something related to the Rogers device ?
Mine still plays music through the handset and not through the headphones. And none of the buttons work. This is annoying.. I am surprised there is only a few of us with this thing.. lol.
I think i have tried it on a few differnent roms, and still no luck. I don't see how it could be a hardware thing.. feels like a driver thing. Even if the music doesn't come out of the headphones, there is no way it should still come from the handset!!!

I'm interested on getting this thing to work, too. I'm running cynogenmods 4.0.1 rom on a 32b device from Vodafone germany and I can hear the music in my headphones but the buttonds don't work and the mic does appear to work.

You can search your drivers on the site of HTC.
They will provide you complete drivers. If not possible then you can search it from search engine.

Does the drivers really support android?

I highly doubt this.
The only thing I can foresee is that a lot of these sites selling them are saying they are available late August, so perhaps they are coming out with the same device that does have new drivers for it.
Unless richermartyn has downloaded said drivers and his remote is working perfectly.
I am jealous that some of you actually have part of it working. Nothing on it works for me.
What type of ear buds do you have (that shouldn't even make a difference!). I have some somewhat nice sony ones.

Seems like it's only the 32a/HTC Branded devices that are supported. Got that confirmed from HTC Europe after sending them an email.

Interesting.. I guess that would be my Rogers 32a magic.. but I have a hero rom installed.. hmm. I guess I will flash a rogers rom later and see if they work, and if they do, maybe someone can rip them from it or something..

Well to quote the support they said:
"The headset/rc has not been confirmed working for the HTC Magic but it will apparently work on HTC Branded phones and most definitly not on your Vodaphone magic (32b)"
I'll try to see if those drivers do any good or if they're only for winmo phones.
Edit: Regarding the ear buds, I use a pair of WESC Bongo deltas and they work great with the rc when it comes to playing music and using in call.
Ah I see.. "Has not been confirmed".. neat lol.
Well let me know how it goes.
Maybe they will release something for real.. I am seeing a lot of online stores advertising these things to work with the Magic.
Very weird that it's still working for some people though.. sigh. I've barely used it.. lol.
It's a cyanogen rom issue. Installed the latest stock rom and it worked brilliantly.
I am about to try a stock rogers rom.
It was not working on jacheroski or myhero etc etc.. those are all probably similar anyways though.
Edit: still does not work! lol. Which rom did you install and what phone do you have?

Here's a 32a port of the rom I'm using. It's supposed to be the latest stock rom for the magic and all the buttons seemed to work except the mute button, but that doesn't matter.
I have a german Vodafone Magic with the 32b board.

and when installing, it seems like you must wipe all your data or the startup can hang on the splash or say that the android process is not running which leads to you having to force close.
For the remote, i'm on a 32B and works perfectly on the Voda stock rom.
Now I just updated with a Hero Rom (Qtek 1.3b).
I will try if it still works.
Edit: Tested on QtekRom 1.3b . Works for calls / volume . The sound is ok thru headphones

yikes, that 32a port won't even flash for me. No signature, and verification failed. gah!
I tried another rogers/ion rom, still no dice.

Do you have the correct recovery ?
Try flashing with Cyanogen recovery. Worked for me on my device.
Edit: I got a reply from another forum member saying that this rc should work on Superhero roms. I although havn't tested that.

I am running Amon_RA's recovery, 1.2.0 I think. Oie.. seems like I will have to do some more flashing when I have time. Too bad it was not easy to figure out files used for this device.
I woke up this morning and checked the news widget and all of a sudden all my news was coming from the USA rather than the UK (where I live) like before?
Has anybody else come across this problem and know how to fix it?
I'm running a stock, unrooted nexus and have rebooted the phone but that didn't work, any ideas?
Once in a while my phone thinks I'm in Brazil and rebooting it didn't fix it either. It used to do it all the time the first week I had it, but now it doesn't do it very often.
Usually what fixes it for me is to go to weather settings in the settings menu, and uncheck "use my location". Then go back to the weather tab and refresh it. Finally go back and turn "use my location" back on, go back to the weather tab and let it refresh again.
If it's still showing the wrong location you can go the phone's main settings menu and select location & security. Then uncheck "use wireless networks" and "use gps satellites", then turn them back on, and it will usually refresh your location.
Another thing that changes the news is the locale... if you select English USA, you will get US-based news...
Thanks for the advice guys although nothing seems to change it no matter what settings I change and how many reboots I do!
Maybe I'll just remove it for a few days and go back to it later?
Same deal for me, (CM 5.0.4.1) locale is Australia, but it has turned to US, a load of people off another forum i frequent are reporting the same thing.

Hey all,
So basically I just bought my first android phone couple of weeks ago. Its the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 running 2.33 Firmware.
It is not yet rooted (have read some articles found in these forum found them really helpful)
but I'm not gonna root it for now I think cause this is my first android phone Im still a noob (used to apple)
Now my problem is I will be going abroad in 2 weeks and could really use the GPS.Tried donwloading GPS Status but i never actually got a lock on the satelites (or it took too long that I gave up) I also tried the fix but the code (but when dialing *#*#1472365#*#* nothing happened lol)
I also downloaded loads of GPS software such as AndNav2,Wisepilot,Navigon,CoPilot,Sycig but 90% of those gave me an error when I try them such as this software cannot be started on your device.
Is there any good GPS software/app which does not require an internet connection (pls not offline maps but like turn by turn app or similar.)
Thanks a lot.
Personally i use Copilot live 8
maybe you could flash the phone to a clean stock ROM and then try again ??
Good Luck!!
So I finally managed to fix it and get a fix on the satellites
Now my last problem is, I need a good turn by turn app that does not use internet (except maybe for downloading maps first time etc.)
Thanks.
Hmm anyone?
I'm using Navigon. You need an internet connection to download the maps. Following that, there is an option to turn off internet connection. Go to Menu>Settings - second option from the top.
in my personal experience... you need to learn how to root, flash firmware, etc...
i'm also a noob and used to apple devices..
before my galaxy s get great firmware (thx xda-dev), i miss my iphone so much...
but after flashed with great firmware, everything working great, nice apps.. and so on,
also a great benefit for me, i know how to do those things... and i can say bye2 for my apple devices now.. even one great iphone 5 wont help me back to apple
just PM me if you need anyhelp
hope you enjoy your sgs as much as i do...

Hi Guys I just got my phone in today. Been messing around with it and everything seems to work great expect the weather doesn't seem to update. I'm running on T-mobile, so maybe that's the issue? I've tried resetting the catch but that didn't seem to do anything. I know the GPS is working since I'm able to see my correct location with google maps. Any help with how to fix this issue would be greatly appropriated.
I had the same problem, likewise on T-Mo. What I did was start maps and activate the GPS. All was well after that.
Hmm still no luck here, Thanks for the suggestion though . Its good to know it's working for some people. Tried turning it off and back on . I've Restarting the phone and tried turning off the Weather app. Nothing seems to work .Whats odd is that the google maps app still sees my location even if I turn my GPS off.
Xiaomi have been having problems with the weather sync server the past few days, there's quite a few posts and bug reports about it over on the MIUI forums. I've had the issue intermittently over the past few days too, it's working fine today so far!
Weather can´t sync?
Same here , using China rom /Globerom/En.miui rom. Hope it is a server problem or maybe Global Warming.

Mine never works even after opening maps and using GPS elsewhere. No biggy, just disabled the built-in weather anyways.

is there a daemon file too...maybe simply changing apk will not work?
recall on ported (though) miui too on note 2, 1 etc the miui weather would never work (location issues)
fyi..just an interested observer here (do not have the Mix ATM)

I'm not sure if there is any other files needed as the person only linked the Weather.apk. I believe he linked the weekly updated version of the apk.
I was in the same boat and then all of a sudden it started working. Now it stays working. I'm thankful it works now.

Can report, it started working this morning for me as well.
Thanks for the info everyone, working for me as well !
I can confirm my weather is working, I'mn on EU rom.
