Download the rom and extract the apk from it. Open up the zip and navigate to system/app it should be hanging around. Then install it on thr evo to see if it works (doubt it).If you can't do it ill download the rom and give you the apk when I get off work in about 4 hours!

There is evidently an issue with connecting to a Lotus Notes Traveler server to install the client on the Honeycomb devices.

When attempting to login, I received an error message of Error 500: HTTP Web Server: Invalid POST Request Exception.

I found a solution at Android Central on their Xoom forum, which seems to have worked for me.

You need to install the Firefox browser to be able to access the Notes Traveler to login and download the installer. Both the default and Dolphin browsers gave me the error message above, but the Firefox browser worked.

I'm getting my Notes Traveler emails synced ok on my Iconia Tab A500. Calendar seems to sync too, but the week view just shows dark boxes without text for my appointments. The agenda view and the Day view work ok though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Aaron Camp:
I installed and configured traveler with no issues using dolphin HD. I have not seen any issues, though I have not changed my cal view from agenda so I cant talk about that issue. I think a lot of the issues being seen may be due to the back end of traveler, and not issues with the android OS or with the tablet (and lets face it, when traveler added android support, there was no display that could show anything else other than boxes for the month view!! )

I am still waiting very patiently for someone to release a widget for calendar for any flavor of android. I have traveler set up on my phone and my iconia, but I still have no calendar widget!!!!!!!!!! :(
[Android General] OstrichSak:
How To: Backup Your Apps, Data & Settings BEFORE You Root/Change ROMs on Your Device!

I recently rooted my Evo 4G and since I had been using it for a while didn't want to lose all of my settings and data and didn't want to sit for hours installing apps and trying to set them each up the way I had them beforehand. None of the root guides that I've found seem to cover this critical first step before they get into the process of rooting the device. So a lot of people root and flash a new ROM and then realize all of their stuff is gone. So, here's how to back everything up before you root or change ROMs:

1) Locate/Download/Install Z4Root to your device. (It appears as though it was removed from the market due to people using it to get temp root in order to use hot spot tethers. The apk can be found in a thread on this forum here)

2) Install Titanium Backup from the market (I recommend the full version because it makes the restore process a one touch option whereas the free one requires you to click 'Install' and then 'confirm' for each individual app which can be a royal PITA if you have lots of apps)

3) Install 'Root Check' from the market

4) Launch Z4 and use to gain temporary root access of your device. Use Root Check to make sure you indeed do have root access.

5) Launch Titanium Backup and grant superuser permissions where necessary

6) Click the center option at the top of the screen after Titanium checks all possible scenarios. Scroll through the options and find the option (usually has the highest number on the right... or real close to it) that backs up all your apps + system data and settings. Allow it to complete this process which can take a bit.

7) Once this is complete back out of Titanium Backup and reboot your device. This will remove the temporary root access from the device. When the device has settled run Root Check one last time to make sure don't have root access.

8) Proceed with your favorite root/ROM process & enjoy not having to waste hours setting up your phone again the way you had it. When you recover make sure you chose the option to recover all missing apps and all data/settings because if you choose to recover ALL apps you can run into issues with the apps it tries to override.

Now, sometimes there are minor issues from ROM to ROM or device to device when you backup from one platform and then recover on another but for the most part it will save you a LOT of time. You can also try a reboot or two after you recover which can help with some settings that don't show up immediately after a recover. I did this before rooting my Evo 4G and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks and hopefully that helps.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberVillain:
Hi guys.

I've tried both the manual rage and the automatic Visionary R14 methods.

I'm not able to get into temp root with anyone of these two methods

Visonary gives me a black screen and the rage method crashes the terminal emulator app after it restarts (Should restart into temp root, but it just crashes)

Both methods makes the devide VERY slow, i need to reboot to get it up to speed again.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalHoe:
Not sure what problem is I've 3 G2's rooted using both methods, double check ur steps.

Visionary was easiest n fastest way to root for me....try to factory reset and try visionary again?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Well, that is an easy one. Any ROM version above 1.34 is not yet rootable. You are 1.82.

You need to downgrade to the official 1.34 ROM for your phone carrier/region, then root.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#December_2010_DZ_OTA_1.72_Update

Also, if you are not aware, the Visionary method is riskier than other methods, and can lead to an unrecoverable brick:

[Droid Pro General] rocho:
hello everyone, i thought the PRO was the perfect phone just before i start typing with it, i found the first row at the qwerty keypads are too close to the soft action buttons (menu,home,back,search) , so every time im writing something i actidentaly hit some of these soft buttons and lost all myscreen text ive wrote...

just wondering if there is such app to make these action buttons works as long press them or disable them for good to use for example "SWKey v1.0.9 – Button Savior for Android"

it's very annoying when you have been writing a lot of text and you dissmiss it because this damn phone layout, anyone experiencing similar problems/froustrations?????????
[Droid Pro General] dutchbastard:
Yeah I had.the same problem at first. But if it makes you feel better, you do get used to it and so it gets easier to avoid the soft buttons over time.

That is of course, assuming you are still new to the pro.

I still do it on occasion, but its become very rare.
[Droid Pro General] hackules:
Button Savior would be fine with me. I wonder how you disable the stock buttons though. Seems like Google Search is popping up all the time on accident.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Is this my charger or my port causing this?
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
It's hard to say. It could be either. Does the phone ever charge up at all? (when it's powered down?). If not, I would first try another charger cable, to rule that out. If that doesn't solve it, then I'd be suspicious of the charge port, and most likely take it in to sprint. A little more info would be good.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
There is a known issue with Evo charger its referred to as -charging port durability by Sprint- take it to a repair store and if you have any issues ask if it is part of the above know issue. This does not apply if its been pulled out by physical damage.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
When it's down it powers on then dies but it will blink as if it's charging

It's your charger more likely cus it happened to me with a cheap charger. So I think its your charger. But if your using a legit charger from like sprint/htc, then something is wrong. I only use HTC chargers.

[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
Does it do it on Factory UNrooted? If so, I'd say take it back to sprint while it's unrooted and on the factory stock rom and have them replace or fix it
[EVO 4G General] kwg8t7:
I had the same problem with a refurb I got that replaced my original Evo. It worked fine for a week or two, then one night, I plugged it in as usual and woke up the next morning with a battery on the verge of dying. The charging light was even still orange when plugged in. I tried every charger I had (evo original, BlackBerry, Samsung, Sprint car charger...) to no avail. Charging with a wall adaptor and USB port on computer yielded the same lackluster results. It did this when rooted and not, with custom and stock roms, and didn't change with kernels. I ended up having to charge my spare battery with a wall charger for the battery and switch every hour or two. I went to the store and they looked at it and gave me 2 new batteries and a new charger (for palm pre) and tried to send me on my way. I plugged the charger into the wall at the store and showed the repair person that it was still losing battery while plugged in and "charging". Needless to say, I got another refurb right away that didn't do the same thing.

Bring it in to the store and get yourself a "new" phone. It worries me a bit that they might be pushing these refurbs out to stores a bit to quickly.

Hey Guys,

I've recently bought the Stowaway XT keyboard to use it with my Windows Mobile 6.1 Phone Xperia X1. The keyboard driver software runs fine on the X1, but I can't connect it to the keyboard since there is only a serial interface for PDA's.

I would need an adapter from this serial interface to the USB-Interface from my X1.

Hi guys,

I have just flashed MIUI and my god it looks good :D

I do have a few problems, I can not pick up any networks (I'm on vodafone uk). When I try to find Network Settings I get: "Call Settings Error Network or Sim card Error."

I hope it is an easy fix :cool: I have tried leaving the phone for a few minuets which hasn't helped and I have tried rebooting the phone. When I reboot the phone it goes back I think factory settings as it asks for my Google account information plus Date format.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well ideally this thread would be better off under the 'MIUI general, or the MIUI development' but considering you already posted dont worry :D

anyway it sounds like your IMEI is corrupted, have you checked this by dialing *#06# ??

if its all 0's or a complete different IMEI to is was before hand, just apply the efs backup you should of made before starting the flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambd:
Well my IMEI is fine, well it gives me a number which I think is correct ;) But I didn't apply a efs back up :( not sure what that is.

If I want to reinstall MIUI would I need to flash back to 2.2 then flash to MIUI since they keep saying you need to be on 2.2 before you begin the flash.

I was on Darky's 2.2 before I flashed just fancied the change :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
no, you are on MIUI now right ? so just reflash the ROM again, and make sure you are on the latest kernel too.

if that dont work, try formatting cache / data / datadata / system / dalvik cache, then again, reflash the ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambd:
Yes I am currently on MIUI.

I used the following:

speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar

cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar

galaxys-efsbackup.zip

MIUI-RC7-1.4.29.zip

Maybe some of these files conflict with the newer version of MIUI?

they shouldnt conflict.

did you try the steps in my last post ? if so how are things now ?

Hey All,

A work colleague just asked me to experiment to port a rather large application to Android, and is offering to buy the phone for me. I'm guessing that, the app being large and both processor and memory intensive, that I'll need the most powerful device I can get even to start.

It's a great opportunity but I'm not exactly sure which current (time frame is short-ish) phone to get. I'd wait for the Galaxy S II but that's too far away.

Ok, so there was a huge thread going on about the differences and about the samoled+ being over-saturated and such: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016334&highlight=pentile&page=4

It has been closed down, for a reason. Egos where burning up, and with every argument more friendliness disappeared.

I think it all started with a picture of parrots, where you couldn't see the black on the feathers good enough or something. (damn its starting to sound really silly atm)

ANYWAY, I wanted to clear up the parrot issue, samsung uses something called DNIe+ to improve the rendering an imaging of pictures and video's. Since the shown pictures are quite old, it was using the demo version of the s2, which had (pretty much untested) DNIe+.

Try the picture on your own phone and you will see what I mean. Samsung did a good job fixing the (oversaturation blah blah blah) colouring. We can all be happy now with a nice vibrant screen. And if you cant handle it, get the I9003 which uses some cheaper tech ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
The problem with doing comparative studies of displays with camera is the fact that most people do full brightness tests.

SAMOLED and SAMOLED Plus both tend to have much higher brightness and contrast ratio than LCDs.

If you are using auto settings to shoot, your camera will adjust aperture and shutter which wont be suitable for either LCD(be it retina, SLCD SCLCD) or SAMOLED display. It will either make AMOLED looks too bright and washed out or it will make LCD too dark.

The best way to do this is to use your eyes to determine the appropriate brightness level on all 3 displays so that you are getting best possible result from them and shoot at ISO100 and smallest possible aperture setting that your camera can do manually and preferably 1/30 shutter and then compare pics. It will be highly subjective test, but it will be fair one.

SAMOLED and SAMOLED + both tend to look way over saturated indoors even to naked eye if kept at full brightness.
