That's a good point. I went with the original version for other reasons, but what you said it just another that convinces me to keep it. Still, I haven't heard much about power buttons failing in the last several months, so hopefully that problem is over.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
Yea i hope that problem is fixed as well. but i'm not willing to risk it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Im on my fourth phone. All for power buttons.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's not encouraging. Although I've had mine since early November and am still on the original device, no replacements. Maybe I got a good one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
I have the orange colored text (although it says 3.005), how do I confirm that I indeed have flashed the correct (3.006) rom properly

I cant get the newest hboot to flash properly, is there a link to maybe the correct file, and also installtion directions

just want to double check I didnt do something incorrectly

thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
See here for installation instructions for the engineering SPL. Hint: it's a sticky.

If your recovery says 3.0.0.5, then that's what you have installed. There's a link in my sig for CWM 3.0.0.6.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
thanks man for the clarification, for some reason ive had the correct hboot, but I couldnt get 3006, till I used the second link

REALLY appreciate it

thanks

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisoaf:
I just followed the instructions from this thread. The phone is currently on the honeycomb like boot screen. I know it is supposed to take a while for it to install, but I usually see 10-15 minutes. It is going on well over 20 this time. Is this normal? At what point should I start over?

Edit: It went to 30-40 minutes so I decided to start over. To my surprise it booted up after removing and replacing the battery. I cleared cache and data a few times and reinstalled the rom from CW. This is what I am used to doing on my N1 and it seems to have worked fine on the Fascinate.

Is there anything I might have missed by doing this?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
I've had this happen about about every third or fourth time I would wipe cache and dalvik before installing something. I usually wait five minutes and if it was still stuck I would pull the battery. It would be nice though to figure out what was causing it.

Dear new friends,

I am a new owner of a pre-owned HTC Tattoo. It has a 2gb sd card.

I am also new to Android. Been a Nokia user all my life.:p

This newly acquired HTC Tattoo is on Android Version 1.6. No more warranty.

I am told if I "root" the phone, I can bring this phone up to Android 2.2. Here is where the knowledge stops.

Will some kind soul teach me how to do this without screwing things up?

e.g. how to back up all stuff before beginning to the end of the rooting process

I am totally new to this android and htc. Please have patience with me.
[Click General] palimpala:
here are the steps

i used the tattoo for more than one year with the original android 1.6

I hoped and will to receive an upgrade... but nothing arrived and nothing will...

when my hope began to lose and my tattoo began to die... i decided to use a custom rom.

Was a dawn of a new era.. now i love my tatto with the custom rom and is really really fast and can use a lot of things you can't imagine!:D
[Click General] Android Padawan:
Special thanks to wormix500 and palimpala

I just wish to thank palimpala and wormix500 for guiding me along patiently to root and custom rom my tattoo. Without them I would not have received this Oscar award. of course my mum too. In case she is comes up behind me as I am reading this post.

My buddy got a HTC Thunderbolt and was showing off its ability to stream video to the TV via windows media center using this connected media app.. he stated it also used the dlna to connect as well. Any chance these can work on the Evo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
I haven't tried it with these apps but I believe this feature is already available on the EVO via a similar app called iMediaShare Premium.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/imediashare-premium/com.bianor.amspremium

[EDIT]

I just tried to install these apps on my EVO running CM7 RC4 and it won't let me install them. I then tried to use root explorer and placed these apps under system/app folder and did a reboot. Once it rebooted, I tried opening up the app(s), it just opens and closes up again. I think they might be something going on with the lib files or whatever. Maybe someone can try them under a sense rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Macropoutsis:
I believe those very apps are on warmZ and mikZ roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dottat:
No dice on sprint lovers
[EVO 4G Android Development] B-dub25:

You shouldn't be able to install via root explorer I believe you have to push.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crookdbill:
They come with and work on mikz
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
Thanks for your replies and info. I ran WarmZ and MikZ both and never even noticed this app on there. So I guess what I am wondering is if they can work on the Evo, what do I need to obtain from my friends Thunderbolt to make them work on a "Non Z" ROM? Or is it even possible for them to work on a standard Sense 1.0 ROM?

@mazdaraider23 Thanks for the recommendation of imediashare.. pretty cool program, but I'd still like to try and get this Connected Media working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lui22:
they need to be installed with a rom....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
So if I could talk one of the Devs into including these apps with a Sense 1.0 / AOSP ROM they could cook in into it and it would work that way?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lui22:
in theory it should work like that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
My recommendation would be if you're going to see about a Dev including these apps in a rom is go and find Virus and PM him about how to get these apps up and running. If they do require to be added on to a specific rom then he would able to tell you. The guy is very knowledgeable in this kind of stuff! Stop wasting your time talking to random people including myself.......GOOD LUCK bro!

Here's the URL for Virus' profile http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2098136

Oh and let us know what you come up with!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Macropoutsis:
Is this the app your referring to?:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
That's the one
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
Thanks for the info.. ill pm him.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kratos313:
Try virus inspire 4g port or bos inspired i've seen that app on both of those roms for sure

sent from a EVOlved device modded by the Borg.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abrigham:
Since it's an HTC app, it most likely requires the HTC/Sense framework. That means it would be a no-go on most AOSP ROMs because they don't include that framework.

OTOH, if it only required specific libs, you could possibly work it into an AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jones79:
I have PM'd Mik and Virus to see if its possible to get an installable package made for the app but have not heard back yet.

I have been watching the WP7 threads for a little while now and have noticed that there doesn't seen to be much activity in there.

I was wondering if WP7 isn't very popular among the community. For me, I love it. I think M$ has done pretty good with this one, and DFT have done even better, Thanks guys. Also thanks to the chefs too.

So I guess I am wondering what OS the community are using.

Android

WP7

Win Mob 6.5

Meego

WP7 mainly, occasionally dip into Android on my SD, starting to think I may just use WP7 when the nodo comes out, beginning to get thoughts why do I need my hd2 when all I use is WP7.

Android is just to messy, not a single keyboard on android comes anywhere close to the Standard WP7 one, Android is becoming fragmented with now the tegra seperate apps, the seperate Expedia play ones also, this is where iPhone and WP7 will prevail. I know its difficult for this to not frament over time with new technologies but to have so many different speced Android devices available at the same time, that run different games and compatibility in my mind is a mess and I am starting to dislike where Android is heading.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

I can't understand why WP7 isn't as popular as WinMob 6.5 according to the poll at this moment in time. I have been using it as my full time OS since getting my phone back from repair 2 weeks ago. I only get the occasional lockup (albeit for a second or too) and the odd app might not work (i.e. Messenger) but overall, I am very happy with it. Considering too, the amount of bugs that had to be ironed out when Android was ported, it's bloody marvellous.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
first off, I'm a long-time X10 user for my personal needs. I've been saddled with an iPhone for work, and been looking forward to a gingerbread phone to switch over to (my company's internal apps only support Blackberry, iOS4 and gingerbread). I've been itching for the Arc since seeing it's droolicious lines, so how's it stack up?

First off, the mandatory p0rn shots:

Screen off:

Yes, Arc is sexier.

Screen on:

Again, the Arc leads the pack... by a mile...

In over 24 hours of full use (currently the iphone is my primary work phone again for data migration to the Arc), I've found the arc to be zippy, responsive, a joy for games, and great for video.

Battery life:

The battery life has been good! I only notice a drain when running Whatsapp, but that drains the battery on the iPhone like a $%&^$%# as well. But so far, it's lasting me a whole day easily.

Screen: gorgeous! Yes, it's not as fine on the pixel detail as the iPhone 4's screen, and the IPS technology of the iPhone 4 gives some slightly better viewing angles, but honestly I can't complain. It's bright, colorful, and a joy to just stare at.

Keypad: Very fast, responsive. No complaints, and i prefer the android spell checker 100000x over the iPhone version. I just wish I knew how to turn on my Smartkeyboard Pro on here - any clues?

Call quality: Generally the call quality on the iPhone 4 has made me want to vomit blood anyway compared to the x10. Now with the Arc, I get back the clear voice I used to hear, and the noise canceling seems to work really well!

Music quality: I use the same pair of Bang & Olufsen headphones on both to compare. Honestly, both are excellent, no complaints. i expected the iPhone to do well - after all it's an iPod with a phone attached. :P

General feel: Yes, it definitely feels plasticky compared to the glass-and-aluminum slab of the iPhone 4. But the iPhone 4 is exactly that - a slab. It has zero considerations for ergonomics or fitting a hand well. And it's heavy. The Arc feel comfy, the smooth finish feels good, and it's soooo light!

Overall, I'm really happy to finally be back on android. The iOS was just too limiting - even jailbroken! And the Arc ticks all the right boxes for me. I'm happy to send the iPhone back to my company's IT department. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
Thanks for your review, i enjoy reading reviews by members for members cause i cant have this phone on my hands when its not in retail shops.

Could you try using rockplayer in hardware mode to see if 720p h264 mkv file is playable? I know that the stock player can playback 720p h264 high profile at 5mbps, would love to be able to do the same with .mkv files :)

I'll give it a try in a bit. :)

any particular file you want to test?

I just wish I knew how to turn on my Smartkeyboard Pro on here - any clues?

Dear Rashkae:

Go to settings>language & keyboard>you should find, among others, Smart Keypad Pro,( assuming you installed). make sure to enable it with a checkmark. Now open any messaging application and long - press any field.. such as where you wold enter the body of text... one of the options should be input method... select Smart Keyboard Pro. Done.

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Yup, I forgot about that... On my X10 after using smart keyboard I would just long-press the 1 2 3 key instead of the input field. Thanks for the help. :)

hmm I'll upload short sample for you to try and send you link in PM :)

Regarding "glass-and-aluminum slab": Like everyone else, I love good materials, but the iPhone4 construction is stupid beyond believe.

My sister's iPhone4 shattered the first time it slipped out of her hand from maybe 2 feet. And I've read reports on the net from aluminum shelled phones (Desire HD, for instance) that got dents when there wouldn't be a mark on simple plastic.

High quality plastic is much better for a mobile device. My old full-plastic Omnia HD (heavier than the Arc) survived a lot of drops and still looks like new.

As long as it doesn't feel as cheap as the Galaxy S...
[Xperia Arc General] Brumble:
Does the arc camera snap shots as fast as the iphone 4?
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
For me even faster. it's helped by the fact there's an actual camera button. No need to dig through app menus and tap on an on-screen button. Shot to shot itself seems faster than the iPhone4 too.

and picture quality is good!!
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Works like a charm. Very smooth and the bravia engine kicks in!
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
is the sound through headphones really that great :o ?

i read on gsmarena that arc has some mediocre sound quality through the headphones (especially bad stereo crosstalk)
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Not sure what they're talking about. I may not be a crazy audiophile but I am picky about cruddy music output. I can run a test again.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Ok, so instead of smaller buds i used nice full-sized Shure cans... and actually the X10 sounds BETTER than the iPhone 4 with these headphones. The notes are crisper, the mids and highs are more balanced with the bass. and that's not even using the EQ yet. But, I must admit the difference is veeeeeery subtle.
[Xperia Arc General] Wishmaster89:
Great! Did subtitles work?

Wonder if the rockplayer streams in 720p through HDMI or is it only upscaled. Could you check this one for me too? :)

I'm more than grateful for your help :)

P.S.

I'm uploading one more sample, this time at better quality and higher resolution. If you could check this one, how it plays through HDMI I would in your debt till the rest of my life :-D
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Subtitles work, yes. The original video you sent me played great, it was very sharp! It did not look just upsampled.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
This time it was a bit too much - it was a bit stuttery and the sound was distorted. But the first video you sent me was great.
[Xperia Arc General] Wishmaster89:
Ok, thanks. So it would seem that up to 480p h264 mkv's can be played back using rockplayer, but 720p h264 only in mp4 format.

Shame that SE didn't improve the default video player like samsung :-/

Thanks for your help :)
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
great dude ;) thanks a bunch ! (fixed x10 into arc :D )

now i shall only hope xperia neo is as good as arc at audio playback lol :)
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Just a quick comment on the camera.....

It's totally awesome... I have never used a camera phone this good before.. it's fast and smooth, and the images are sharp and realistic... and the low light photo's are better than anything I've seen before.. and the flash.. despite being an LED flash, it's really, really good.. so much better than the X10 - don't think there's any advantage of having a Xenon flash over this.
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Would have to agree with that :cool:
[Xperia Arc General] Brumble:
Any chance of putting up some sample's??
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
No real need, there are lots of samples on the reviews. :P
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
With the X10, I could still listen to music, though it sounded a bit tinny - I think one of the contacts is reversed compared to the iPhone plug specs. Same with the Arc. I can listen to music using iPhone mic/bud combo but it's tinny.

Do these "made for iphone" buds work on HTC or samsung phones?

I usually also use a MW600 BT headset for calls on the go anyway...
[Xperia Arc General] sofia-captivate:
Ohh no Sony have done this so you buy their crappy earbuds. Thanks for the answer.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Hmm? If I ever feel the need to have a wired headphone/mic combination I just use the supplied set, which is not bad. If I want better sound quality while retaining the mic, I remove the headphones (it's separate from the mic) and plug in whatever headphones I want to.

If I just want to listen to music, I plug in whatever headphones I want to - no problem.

I've never bought any special Sony earbuds for call/mic combo. It's all supplied and the earbuds are swappable. So what are you talking about? I think you really never tried it on your X10?? Seriously I don't know what "you must buy Sony earbuds" nonsense you're talking about. I use Etymotic buds with the cable. I get wired mic/great sound. I use the etymotics with the BT headset. I get wireless mic and great wireless music.
[Xperia Arc General] sofia-captivate:
Lol haha ok? I am Sending this from my x10 that also came with swapable earbuds that you could plug in your own 3.5mm Jack into it but it makes the wires way longer and messier. And I do have klipsch earbuds that are way better sound quality earbuds but when you plug it in on x10 mic earbuds its not the same quality. Cause x10 have different wirings which is stupid.
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
I guess everything is crappy to you, really immature post....
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Yes it makes the wired longer, but I usually buy shorter ones anyway. ;)

so you noticed a sound degradation after plugging it into the X10 mic extension? I didn't at all on my X10 or Arc (I played some high-quality jazz/classical and rock/metal)... Maybe your mic unit is defective?
[Xperia Arc General] sofia-captivate:
Lol what im trying to say is lets say you have etymotics earbuds regular earbuds it works but if you buy one with mic on them they wouldn't work. So I have to use the etymotics on x10 mic plug to use it but makes the wired longer. All im saying I wish that arc wasn't like this.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
I used the Etymotics directly on both X10 and Arc. Works.

But if it's the iphone-type, the different plug-specs reduces power to the buds, causing a loss in sound quality. Regular buds work great.
[Xperia Arc General] agp64:
Are we talking about the x10 or the arc sounding better then the I phone?

Thanks for all the feed back about the Arc.

Couldn't help noticing that you weather location is set to Singapore are you living here? If so have you found a descent GPS software program that will run Singapore, Malaysia maps offline?
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Yes, Arc. I posted that at about 2am so was a bit sleepy. :D

AFAIK the new Google maps allows offline caching. But I never depend on a GPS to drive, I go old-school and never get lost so I don't use it. :P

Not sure why so many people in SG are dependent on a GPS, it's a tiny place. I drive all over Europe and Asia without it. :P
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Awesome insights from an user that has a x10 and arc. Do you mind sharing what your impression is on the responsiveness of the overall phone (x10 and arc) performance? My current X10, while not slow, doesn't exactly smooth when alternative between different tasks (such as viewing images, searching for contacts or opening up contacts...etc).

Also, the keyboard is a little slow and registers ~90% of the keystrokes. Do you mind sharing your experience on the arc? Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I had X10 too.. and the Arc is a million times better.. there's nothing about the Arc that isn't better than the X10..

Oh actually there is one thing.. the camera button is a tiny bit too small..

The camera though is incredible (first attached photo taken in a very dark room at the Xperia Play Launch event, and second one taken of a painting that my mum is in the middle of doing taken at about 7.45pm Saturday night.. flash on..)

The screen looks amazing.. really nice quality about it.. sharp and clear, but not over processed or over saturate..

earpiece volume is much louder, and speaker volume and quality of sound is very good indeed.. media player has a graphic equaliser too (10 preset options).

Media server (DLNA) capabilities built in...

FM Radio (which I haven't used yet!)

and no sign whatsoever of any lag... smooth as hot butter...

I used the stock keyboard for a few days, but I'm a "Swype" lover.. so have switched back to that.. Stock Kb is ok and quite quick to type on.. only thing I've noticed is it's "prediction" accuracy doesn't seem to be quite perfect.. but then again, neither is my ability to hit the right keys!

battery life is pretty good too - 15 hours in today and still got 40% left.
[Xperia Arc General] sofia-captivate:
Oh wow im.definitely getting the arc instead of nexus s
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
I think im_iceman summed it up already.

However, do note that I'm using Smartkeyboard pro, not the stock SE keyboard. SKB allows for calibration for better accuracy, adjusting key height, etc. Very nice bit of software. And I love the long-press for numbers/special characters.
[Xperia Arc General] agp64:
Not to worried about maps for Singapore but for Malaysia it is a must when you are doing business there. And of line maps are essential to avoid online roaming costs. I have tried to navigate buy street directory but it is bloody hard with all the idiot drivers that fail to follow basic road rules.:)

So the Nokia phones are still the best choice at the moment if you are an international traveler and the maps are free. with free voice navigation.

Hard to resist the Arc but then I will need a separate GPS for traveling.

What to do, what to do!!! I really do like the look of the ark.:)
