You can build your own here, but unfortunately, it's the standard HTC keyboard, not the one with the arrows at the bottom.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] pmdied:
I tried flashing one through Clockwork but it doesn't seem to take. Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] omg.beav:
You don't have the flash them. Just open the .zips with Astro and install as you would a normal .apk

Time to report back to xda with the state of MKV Subtitles on android. So far I found 4 players that play mkv + internal subs without external tools:

MoboPlayer

VitalPlayer

QQPlayer

VPlayer

Enjoy =D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
so ya, VPlayer recently added support for embedded subtitles... perfect for mkv anime watchers!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dominirican:
ive been using rock player because the others dont work well with 2.3 but subs work for th emost part on it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
Does it do internal mkv subs? If it does, perfect, otherwise there is Mkv SubExtractor on market to extract internal subs to a separate file :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] trevolutionary:
Do you use a codec with MoboPlayer? Things are choppy with avi files (most are mkv so not a huge deal) but a search in this forum and the greater web is not producing much info on what ARMv7 codec would apply to the Evo.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikmarko:
Guys quick question for you about unlocking Atrix. I have never done it before and I heard that some people had issues with wifi after so I would like to ask couple of questions.

- when I have the unlock code and I'm entering it do I need to have sim card in the phone?

- does the sim card have to be working one?

- should I have wifi on or off?

Thanks for your time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W3BSurfer:
- Yes. You have to have the sim card in the phone.

- The sim card does not have to be working. As long as it is not from the phone carrier.

- Once you put the simcard in, it wont let you get past it unless you enter the unlock. Then you can either turn on or off the wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ACHILLES R32:
Today i was cleaning my screen and i noticed specks of dust in lower left corner of the screen just under the home button. It seems as if the dust came out of no where, used my phone last night didn't notice any dust. I'm thinking about calling T-Mobile to get a refurb, but i voided my warranty a few days ago when i replace the spring for the hinge. I ordered some void stickers from eBay so Im thinking of covering up the screw and sending in the phone. What are the chances of t mobile noticing that i messed with the phone. I will install the old spring back in once i get the void stickers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Depends on the individual employee who inspects the phone. Also are the void stickers 100% identical? I'm sure the employees will be trained to look for that. Its kind of a toss up. Do you know if they will just say no warranty and send back your phone vs charging you for a new phone and sending you a new phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Did you get dust under the screen when you fixed the spring? Also why don't you try to just fix it if you have already tore apart your phone once. Worse case you got those stickers coming anyway right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ACHILLES R32:
I didn't touch the screen when i was replacing the spring, the screen bezel was all intact and unopened. Tmobile send out refurbs, and then once you receive the phone you have to send the old one back. They might charge me on my bill, if they see that the phone was opened before. The void stickers i ordered look close to stock if not not identical i just have to wait and see. Im not sure how to seal the screen if i do decide to take it apart.

[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Which one would drain less battery on this phone? I know Beejive and Trillian use push services to send you messages... what does Talk use? Just trying to save the most battery I can...

Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
Funny... i was about to post a similar question.. Trillian vs Beejive.

Ive been using both.. tried trillian today... seems to work better reason why-> you can suspend the app and it will keep you logged in and send you an email if someone sends a message, then you just reopen the app. Beejive was able to do that on the iphone.... weird.. i didnt see that feature in the android version.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
They both use push services though. Beejive has been more reliable for me.
[Thunderbolt General] thelaw.com:
GTalk will drain your battery - I found this out when it was left on by accident on the day the TB was activated.

Not sure why but Skype didn't drain as fast. Imo also didn't drain as fast. I'll be testing both Jivetalk and Trillian and will probably buy the latter because of the desktop sync which is unusual in this arena and a colleague tells me it actually seems to work.
[Thunderbolt General] Russ36363:
I've been using trillian for now, as most of the others I've used don't use the push messaging, and we all know that's a horrible battery drain without that activated.

The thing I don't like though is that if I lose data for a second, and reconnect, it triggers all messages that I've read already as new IMs and sets the notification, which is quite annoying.

I'll look into Beejive. Trillian is the nicest app I've used so far, but it's really picky with data connections. There are times where it just doesn't want to let me log in at all, even though I can get a working data connection just fine.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
I leave google talk running all the time, I dont have battery draining problems :)
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:

Cant believe all the crying about this app costing $10bux while i was searching around for reviews and comparisons. I think this is the first app i bought as soon as i got the phone.
[Wildfire General] russel666:
Hello,

I have a question, is it possible to sync two e-mail account at once?

Since I have my Gmail account on autosync and works fine, then I added my work mail vie IMAP, but that account doesn't sync untill I access it manually. Tried to find the setting for it under Accounts and sync, but my IMAP account isn't listed there.

So my question would be, is it possible to set it up somehow so both accounts autosync?
[Wildfire General] pambudi80:
Try maildroid or k9 mail for u're work account..
[Defy General] NickAJ:
Hello all,

I've looked at loads of threads and I'm getting totally lost.

All I want to do is update a standard UK sim free Defy to Froyo. But I'd also like to be able to return it to a factory setting in case of problems.

I don't want to disable the flash as it gets used as a temporary torch quite often so ideally an "official" version. From reading various threads because the system is 2.51.1 (after an official speaker repair) I run the danger of bricking the phone if I install the wrong version.

So, could someone either point me in the right direction, or if it's not too much trouble list the steps I need to take to get to 2.2.

The phone is already rooted, has titanium backup, setvsl installed. Whilst I'd like to keep my apps if I have to re-install them it's not a massive issue.

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] floydz:
Theres only 1 "official" version ATM, and its Korean.

As far i can tell Fritolays mod, Barebones work just fine. No problems at all on my Defy. U can check it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977989
[Defy General] antony.ps:
To be able to rollback to 2.1 you need to flash a fixed SBF (generally a sbf with small size, compared to a full sbf, around 300MiB).

I suggest you to try barebones too, it's the ROM i use. But i have tested many others, Pays is the most complete (apps). Jboogie has 3 versions, i have only installed JboogieLiquidarc, very beatifull, but a little lag on my Defy. Adlxmod i don't really liked, used only one day, so not too much to say.

Everyone of them has a tutorial, read, re-read, then choose your ROM.

PS: It's almost impossible to brick the phone with these ROM's, if you can't boot, or the phone just don't power on, rsd lite and power + vol up are your friends =)
[Defy General] diggedy:
try this here that I wrote.

http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=333432&view=findpost&p=1648898

Its fritolays method and pretty much the same as higgsys guide but with the links I used rather than the ones higgsy supplied as his didnt work with my phone
[Defy General] NickAJ:
OK - Done something wrong.

I've tried both the Korean and Fixed CEE sbfs but I'm stuck in an endless reboot.

I did have big troubles getting RSD lite to work - but having found version 4.9 is did the job. However when it finished it wouldn't reboot automatically.

I'm going to try and get back to 2.1 and see what happens.

Any advice very gratefully received.

Also does anyone have a working link to superoneclick 1.17 as none of the links seem to work
[Defy General] NickAJ:
Even worse now - no boot sequence at all :(

But, it is still recognised by RSD Lite which goes through all the signs of flashing the sbf files. It's jsu when it's finished all there is a black screen with the white LED.

Power on and volume up doesn't do anything. Help please.
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
best is to flash with a stock ROM to bring it back to life. dont wait till battery life goes low, else you'll have to do the MacGyver method. you can search it in the forum if you have low battery issue

try this ROM

http://depositfiles.com/en/files/bwc1wb2jp

this one is sbf for 3.4.2-155

flash it with RSD Lite 4.9 and you should be back in business.

i've been there, same problem...so here's giving back
[Defy General] ToTTenTranz:
Hi,

Is that a fixed sbf?

I'm having the same problem...
[Defy General] NickAJ:
Many thanks for that - the phone has rebooted - phew!

Now just got to work out what went wrong! But it's good to know it has gone back to 2.1 OK.

The version is a deblurred basic android version.
[Defy General] ToTTenTranz:
That's not a 2.1, it's a 2.2.

And it's the only version that (finally) worked for me, so I guess it's a fixed version.

Thank you.

EDIT: Oops, turns out it wasn't a fixed version. This a no-going-back 2.2 leaked ROM, so even though my phone is not a brick anymore, warranty is gone at least until the original carrier (in my case, Vodafone Spain) launches its own Froyo ROM.
[Defy General] NickAJ:
Guess that explains why I can't get the phone to reboot into recovery mode using system recovery. I've got the phone rooted OK so I guess that's a start.

It would have been nice to have been warned that the sbf was an unfixed 2.2!
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
many apologies for that over-sight....

however, i guess you guys can still move back to 2.1 but i forgot the link to it. let me find out and post it up
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
After updating to nodo yesterday I noticed my DVP was crashing a lot more, especially in IE as I browse a lot. I chalked this up to being an extension of my sd card problems but 2 other owners have mentioned they noticed the same increased lockup rate.

What has been your experience after upgrading to nodo? We dont know the ETA of the next update from Dell which is supposed to fix issues, but this MS update was not supposed to make our phones worse so maybe we can get them to expediate the patch. Seems to be only affecting the Dell which points again to questionable QA and testing. Please vote and post your findings.
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
I updated, and haven't gotten any crashes--but honestly, I can't tell any difference. I don't have the copy paste function in my browser or in Office or anything.

The info under settings, it says my OS version is 7.0.7008.0. When I go home, I'm going to check for an update again, but so far, everything seems the same.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
You dont have the nodo update yet, 7008 is the pre-nodo update. 7390 is the final nodo version.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
so far, so good. copy/paste works great in all areas of the phone, application response is quicker, scrolling is smoother. the phone did lock up right after installing ESPN ScoreCenter and I had to pull the battery but I'm attributing that to the app, not NoDo at this point.

EDIT: i forgot to mention that after the NoDo update my available storage space went down about 500mb.
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
I realized that when I was checking the update numbers. That's definitely the case...though Zune won't let me update any further. Not sure why it's different for others...
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Plenty of us have not gotten the nodo update yet. A lot of the people who have it got it by using the Zune trick at http://wpcentral.com/easy-hack-forces-nodo-update
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
Have not noticed any drastic changes after the NODO update. Still experiencing about the same frequency of freezing. Have noticed a slight speed increase when launching graphic heavy applications but nothing major. I am interested to see how my HD7 performs after the update compared to the Venue Pro.

Just an FYI to everyone. I just got off the phone with Dell Mobility as I wanted to make sure they still had someone to talk to after NODO. I was specifically told that the Dell update would take place starting on April 18th. Just enough info to tide over the mob for a few more weeks.
[Venue Pro General] goldaar:
My phone used to freeze with WiFi in the market. I left WiFi on all day, and everything was working great. I have no more stability issues that I have seen so far.
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
My phone seems to be working splendidly after the update. No lockups as of yet, though it didn't lockup too often before. It's much faster, of course.

I'll browse the net for a bit to see what happens but it was fine when I did so earlier. Will report back.
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
All right. I was able to reproduce this. Took me about 10 minutes or so before it locked up on the second site I visited. Will continue to investigate.

Edit: After further testing, I failed to reproduce this consistently. As a matter of fact, it didn't happen and I browsed for over 20 minutes. That's probably the limit of my phone browsing. I only use IE on the phone if I'm away from my comp and actually have to look something up, or check something.

But, this issue does seem to exist for me, however rare it may be, and hopefully the powers-that-be are aware of this or will become so soon... and fix it.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Why pull the battery? Did the long power button hold also fail to reboot the phone? That trick from my Zune HD seems to work here too.
[Venue Pro General] mikebaz:
Freezing on stock units after update?

I see a few people who have upgraded their MicroSD card reporting freezing after the update. Is anyone seeing more hangs/unstability/etc. with NoDo who has NOT changed out their card?
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I'm on NODO, 7390. Since the update, have had no problems, no crashes, no freezes. I had upgraded my sd card to a 32g about 2-3 weeks ago.

I've seen alot smoother performance. One thing you may wish to consider. I did pull the battery after the update...as I do with all updates. Some of my friends had issues like lack....pulled battery and restarted...no further issues.

In previous versions of the OS...I would always do a hard reset. I did try that too. I used the restore feature to get back to the fully loaded device. The hard reset did not improve performance...but I had no issues anyway.
[Venue Pro General] TeamKillerJKFFL:
To fix the lockup prob wait for the DVP specific update to see if that really does it or change your SD as per the warranty voiding solution some of us have opted for. I went to RadShack and got the same brand/spec as the stocker and I couldn't be happier.
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
i've already posted my reaction in another thread..

will brief it here as well...

pre-nodo = 1 hung up(battry pull)

post nodo = no hung up...

some apps faster but most i can't feel any noticeable difference.

I WANT NON US CREDIT CARD SUPPORT WHICH MS DROPPED IN THIS UPDATE :(

PS: i think we's add a poll with options:

1. more freezing (stock sd card)

2. more freezing (pre-update upgraded sd card)

3. better performance

4. no change

5. where is my nodo update??

wat say efjay?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Cant change the poll options myself, either a mod will have to do it or another poll has to be started. Tnx for the suggestion though.

No to NoDo

My 16gb DVP was running flawless until I did the NoDo update.. since then I have experienced numerous crashes and so many lockups that the phone was almost unuseable...I have restored my DVP back to its original state before the NoDo update and now I have no more problems with the phone..I will wait for the Dell firmware update before I try the NoDo update again...until then it's NO to NoDo for me :(
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
keep in mind that you will most likely have no choice in this. You will probably need to get nodo before you get any other updates. It remains unsure how Dell will release the firmware, but most likely it will be exactly like you did the others, through ms. That means 7008 then 7390, before the firmware.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Updated my 8GB DVP today. So far so good on mine.
[Venue Pro General] gmark7:
My dell venue pro has been great. I have had fewer freezes and I have noticed increased speeds. Cant wait for mango, hope they do something about the color banding on all wp7's. As for the freezing issues people are having, I feel that people who switched the original sd card will later be screwed after this nodo update and the update dell is putting out. Maybe the cards they are using now got lucky, but I feel like the phone was only supposed to be made for one card, the original. I didnt switch my sd card thankfully. I thought about it, but....didn't. The nodo didnt have much to offer, but microsoft did a great job. Its the first five months of a brand new phone that they came out with, give them a break. Look how slow android was. LOVE WP7!!
[Venue Pro General] jsta:
+1 to this.

Phone was constantly crashing till this update. Since Nodo not 1 single crash, everything loads faster, Copy and Paste works and I finally don't regret buying my DVP. Big up to M$ for the fix.

For all the people having issues with micro SD cards only buy Sandisk and at a minimum Class 4. Anything else is russian roulette.

Cheers

DVP Still crashing

Just got the NoDo update a day ago. My DVP pre update usually crashed while in marketplace, sometimes while browsing and ocassionally while charging overnight. Now it seems to crash even more, it even crashed a couple of times while locked and in my holster. Also I have to take out and reinsert my battery several times to get the thing to turn back on. I spoke to the Dell Cust rep. Supervisor previously and he assured me all my problems would be fixed with the new update. I have older parents with health issues and a daughter away in college. I am totally mobile (no landline) and having a phone that freezes up while I'm sleeping or charging is totally unacceptable. I'm giving up and using my refund to get something Android.
[Venue Pro General] uKnowChinchilla:
I have an 8GB stock Dell Venue Pro pre-nodo and I understand every problem you are encountering. As of April 7, 2011, my DVP crashes while in marketplace, while browsing, while loading a video through YouTube on IE, while charging and so forth. Only once has it crashed on me while it was in the holster where I had to take out the battery in order to get it running again. On average, it seems that my phone crashes/freezes once every two days. After a while, this is becoming very frustrating. I love what the phone has to offer, but the crashing is becoming a nuisance. I hope that the nodo update does not make it worse than it is already on my device.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I wonder if the NoDo update installed to a different area of the memory card that causes trouble for some people. Mine has been fine pre and post NoDo.

The problem for people who have bad phones is that the phone has been out for 4 months and there is still no sign of a fix from Dell. Since the card appears to be the source of the problem, it makes perfect sense to me to try and replace it.
[Venue Pro General] BISDAKinLA:
after NODO update phone still crashes on wifi but after I remove the battery and put it back, no more crashes up to now. Hopefully this will continue
[Venue Pro General] erebusting:
...

I just updated my phone today through Zune (...this was a stupid move btw.. because now I cannot unlock my phone and have to wait until someone figures out a new unlock method for the NoDo update)...

but it seems to be fine -I do not have any issues so far (I just got the phone yesterday so maybe I need more time with it?)...

To Those of you with problems :

1) Did you unlock your phone before the update?

2) Did you mod your SD Card ?

2a) after the update?

2b) before?

Those are my thoughts for now....
[Venue Pro General] tbvnz:
My DVP still freezes and DELL told me to suck it!

I spent over an hour with Dell Mobility tech support in regards to my freezing problems and possible resolutions. If you do contact them immediately ask to speak with a supervisor. The first rep I spoke with suggested an exchange. I asked her the procedure or policy on backing up my paid apps and general phone info and she actually said "you should be able to save everything to your SD card for use in the replacement". After informing her that this would void my warranty I promptly asked for her supervisor. Hold, and 20 minutes later I was transferred to Daniel (I cant give my last name) Badge #252339. He suggested that I not do an exchange because a firmware update dealing with freezing, wifi issues and other bugs would be made available for the DVP on April 18, 2011. I told him if I still experienced problems after that update I would expect a refund. He told me I would be out of luck, I can only get replacements after 30 days. I guess this may be an issue I'll have to bring to my states Attorney General or would "WE" be out of line considering a class action if Dell can't properly accommodate their customers. Well in the meantime I'll call Daniel 252339's supervisor (Josh Nolastname) tomorrow morning (he only works days) and let him frustrate me some more.
[Venue Pro General] the fight:
It sucks to see so many people having problems with their DVP (before or after the update).

My problems with the device (Originally a 16GB DVP, T-Mo Us, Mfg Date: 12/16/2010) went away with the changing of the memory card. I swapped the included 16GB Class 4 card for a 32 GB Class 2 card and I noticed a difference instantaneously. The biggest thing for me was the ability to wifi sync without having the phone freeze (huge because of how heavily I use my zune pass).

Since the No-Do update (I have 7390), the speed difference is interesting. It takes roughly 13 seconds to turn on my phone. That's pretty amazing to me. The C&P is actually easier to use than I thought and it makes it easier to select text in general. That's also pretty big to me because in my web browsing experience, I often highlight words or phrases and hit the search button (which pulls up google, funny enough). I've had a lockup when using a specific app, Seymour and I occasionally get locked up if a number of things happen at the time (A song change, a text message and leaving an app via the back button).
