Number6

Just checked - not there yet :-(

I must be being more dense than usual! How do I change the frequency at which Googlemail is checked? I can find where to switch on or off auto checking but can see no way to alter the sync frequency.

OK. Do I have to do anything to get the update process moving or does it just happen? Another question, a little OT but there we are; battery life - it seems to be attrocious. What do other users achieve with moderate to heavy internet / wifi usage + a few texts and calls?

I'll have a look when I have time then.

Not checked yet. I wouldn't imagine that what I'm looking for would be in a firmware fix though.

On re-reading my OP I wasn't clear, sorry. I'll keep looking; Lock 2.0 is the best I've come across so far but I think that only replaces the standard unlock screen. I really want a permanent widget or app that locks and unlocks the screen with a slidey thing. I really should get out more

Yeah, that will have to do for now. In reality I just want a screen slider control because it looks good, no other reason really I'll maybe have a look at Lock 2.0 Thanks anyway.

Saw that but it only controls unlocking the screen following a 'timer shutdown' doesn't it? I want to be able to lock the screen at will, like the iPhone does with it's slider lock.

Yay! We have the key also. Just wait for Thursday now!

One failing of the Hero over the iPhone is that there's no way, natively on the Hero, to lock the screen. This, to me is a major failing. Is there a decent app to add this functionality? The only app I can find is Lock 2.0, that's a chargeable app and I've read mixed reports of it. Can anyone give a first-hand opinion of this? Any other apps out there\?

Thanks for the explanation and link, I was aware, of course, of what you said in the first paragraph but not that android phones had to be specifically unlocked.

It certainly helps, thanks. Re: callblocker. What exactly do you mean, requires root access?

Is anyone aware of any apps that will block calls from specific numbers? Ideally I would like the caller to hear an engaged tone or some form of message. Anything around?

Thanks for that. I'm away now for two weeks but I'll be interested to see what crops up here.

Now here's a strange thing. I installed Ringo Lite as well as rings extended. When I run Ringo it acts normally until I choose a track at which point the rings extended screen pops up, I then select rings extended and then it works OK, or appears to so far. If I uninstall Ringo I'm back to square one, RE doesn't want to know. Weird or what?

Yes, I checked the log earlier, it says port 49193 but opening that through the firewall makes no difference, it still errors.

It is actually configured with SQL as an exception but it's not working. I've had to turn the firewall off completely for the time being.

Shut up!!! :D

Interestingly, the firewall is configured exactly the same on both servers and SQL is named as an exception on both. Obviously on the new server SQL is using different ports so I'll have to track that down now.

It was the post of the century!! It was on, it's not now and it works! May the blessings of a thousand virgins be showered upon you!! I originally turned it off but forgot that I reinstalled the server and didn't recheck. Things like this make me feel like a right pillock. A thousand thanks.

This could be the post of the century!!! I don't know but I'm going to check right now! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks

Firmware version 1.5 Kernel Version 2.6.27-a5504199 Software version 1.0.0.A6288 Rings Extended says it's installed but I do not get the option screen. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling - zilch.

Yes Local and remote connections via named pipes and TCP/IP are allowed.

Yes and yes.
