Good for you...for me NOT

I have the exact same problem you reported (ie, apps I try to download to my rooted HTC Magic suddenly became stuck in "Starting download..."

I did everything you did and including checking in Settings -> Manage Applications, but all without success. What I have not done is enable "Market from starting upon com.android.vending*, "*intent.RECEIVE and some other events" as suggested by Miksha since I don't have a clue as to how to do that.

So if someone can advise me on how to "enable events" and/or has another solution to offer, I would be appreciative.

[Nook Color General] micksh:
If you don't have autostarts app you probably don't need to enable anything. I had to enable events because I disabled them in autostarts prior to that. You could not do that without autostarts.

It is probably possible that events are disabled because of something else. The only way I know to check this is to buy autostarts (one dollar app).

I lost arc shape unlock bar after i update my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i to 2.1 software version. Its kinda silly but one of the reason why I got the X10 is because I hated the bar unlock from my iphone. Is there any theme or application available on android market to get back to acr shaped unlock bar???

Hi all,

I've spent most of the day searching the net for an app that let's me register appointments, and offers the possibility to send sms confirmation "Dear customer, you have an appointment ... date... time", and to send a reminder like 24 hrs before D-Day "Please remember your appointment ... date ... time".

I found all kinds of goodies. Some to install on a Windows PC, some hosted online. But in all cases you need to purchase an SMS package.

On this forum I found f.ex. the miniSMS server. This showed me it is possible to make an app that can send SMS'es. Great, now I need a way to have a tool like a traditional calendar to enter appointments, and the option to send SMS as described. I think best would be an app that works on top of the default installed calendar. But then again, I don't know...

Advantage with running it from the PDA is that the PDA does not need to be connected to the PC in any way, so messages can be send at any time. And ofcourse, you don't need to purchase expensive subscriptions.

I do webdesign, but I am not a programmer, so I will need some assistance. All input is welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Hey App Gurus,

Question for you guys which has seemingly gone unanswered but I believe is quite important.

I have a android app which has a iphone version, and I want to implement an ad model to it.

What are the main advertisers that you can advertise with? While there seems to be a few advertisers, admob seems to be the most popular, the other advertisers include:

- Tap.me (relatively new, but innovative compared to your traditional ad methods)

- tapjoy

- admob

- Adwhirl (sub of admob)

There are likely others, like the new Kiip which just launched.

On apple's iOS platform there is:

admob

iAds

others?

But what I really want to know is which one compensates you the most, and for the devs out there, which one do you prefer to use, and why, do they all just the same type of income?

I heard there is a minimum amount of downloads/users needed by your app in order to have a advertiser advertise with you, is this true? And if so, how much?

Thanks for any help!
[General Topics] misc86:
can no one provide any insight on this?
[General Topics] oka1:
don't know if this will help as I do not use ad service........... just a techie

But tap me uses the latest jag tag method which has the ability to infiltrate more of users by intelligently targeting users behavior and marketing to them.

intelligently targeted content is much more likely to be shared and will provide marketers QR strategies with an amplifier effect that will increase purchases and improve unaided remembering of the specific brand being advertised.

Hope that helps

[G Tablet General] iamchocho:
Ipad has its place but not for me. To me its like a nerf tablet, soft padded corners so the kids don't hurt themselves :D . I have respect for apple because they committed to it and managed to prove the market for tablets was viable enough to get other manufacturers interested in joining the fray. I don't respect how they've chosen to lock down iOS and development.

So far apple has the edge up on tablet optimized apps but that won't take long before they are behind. I won't hesitate to recomend an ipad to others, like my parents, grandparents, non technically savvy people and those who don't mind paying more to get less and have simple needs. Me, I don't want to live in the walled garden.

More free android apps than iOS ones

In case anyone is interested in the numbers:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/27/there-are-now-more-free-apps-for-android-than-for-the-ios-platform-distimo/

Total iOS apps (paid included) is still higher than Android, but if you consider that MOST iOS devs charge for their apps (like for the about 10 different fart apps) it seems a whole lot less relevant to me!

[LG Optimus 2x] ludroid:
I was looking for a place, how to tell the LG guys, what do I expect from my LG P990. Did not find a way - so here is a thread with hope, somebody from LG will read and ... consider - at least.

Starting wishes from me:

1. DIFFERENT NOTIFICATION SOUNDS SIMULTANEOUSLY - one for SMS, another sound for MMS a third one for e-mail - with possibility to customize sounds for every e-mail account and all individual events ,which are anounced by a single notification sound now.

! Because now, when I hear a notification sound, I do not know, whether is it SMS, or is it e-mail, or the device just established connection.... a little uncomfortable to stop a car on highway to check if there is an urgent SMS finding a standard e-mail, which can be handled tomorrow in an office....

2. possibility to make SILENT MOVIE CAMERA BUTTON - so it will be not a shame while taking a short memories from valuable moments using this great phone, BUT without pulling all surrounding attention onto me/my phone.... just imagine to use it in church, or at cemetery during a ceremony....
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
You can set up different notification sounds for Email and SMS (don't know about MMS since MMS is nonsense IMHO and I don't use it.) already.

With Mail Programs like K9 you can even set up different Notification sounds for your multiple Email addresses.

You have to simply enter settings in the SMS and/or Email apps.

EDIT

There are "silent camcorder"-setups setups in custom ROMS here on this board.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Ared777:
If you're looking to hack your HD2 to get Windows Phone 7, be aware of this:

1. It's completely unsupported by Microsoft or HTC

2. It will erase all data on your phone and SD card in it

3. Unless you get a correct micro SD card, it will randomly reboot. A short term fix for this is to play an album in Zune and put the phone on vibrate.

4. It will greatly diminish your battery life. You will need an extended battery just to make it through a whole day.

5. You have to jailbreak it and install a certificate and move a file or two using third party app to download apps and then call up Microsoft in hopes they will give you the code.

6. There is a minor 3G problem; to fix it, try going into the settings, then tap on cellular, scroll down and click add apn, then in the APN field, type in internet2.voicestream.com and leave the user name and password fields blank. If that doesn't work, try typing in wap.voicestream.com or epc.tmobile.com. Make sure you turn roaming on. Note: Only works if you have T-Mobile.

I tried it but I put WP6.5 back on because it has a file explorer, you don't need Marketplace to install all of you apps you can just download them from the internet and install them, it has internet sharing, and for $25 I can get a personal hotspot. I also like the camera better because it is widescreen and takes panorama. I can do prettymuch anything with it!

Without marketplace and xbox live the WP7 is pretty spartan, but when fully operational there's not an OS near it...

My view for anyone thinking of trying WP7 is, try it fully working and then make a decision... Have a stock WM rom ready if WP7 aint for you...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Im sorry but most of this is utter FUD!

There are a few things wrong with the HD2 running WP7 but given that it was never supposed to work with it anyway i think its amazing

WP7 has been on my HD2 for months, it works fantasticly, and i wont go back to Droid or WM for my main OS

Note i do sill use a WM6.5 device for some key software that i cant get on WP7 but other than 2 pieces of software its great!

SD cards are a big issue, its luck if you get one taht works, that is one of the things you have to pay to be able to use this OS on our Device, if you dont like it buy an HD7

APN settings are operator specific, use the HTC connection tool and it will sort it all out for you

you dont need to unlock the device if you intend to use LEGAL apps from the market place, if you wish to use dodgy apps or unsigned XAPs developed by users then you will need to unlock it. Normally ALL you have to do is phone MS or use the chat and get a code, and thats it, everything works

Of course its unsupported by MS, your using software on a device that it was never intened for, why would you think other wise? and it is exactly that thinking that would stop MS from allowing (but not supporting) the HD2 because people like you assume MS should help them! Why!? anyhow, thats why we have XDA-DEV

Battery life is much the same, and very good if you consider PUSH is working

of course it will format the card, i dont see the argument here?

Install linux on your windows computer (not VM), does it format anything? yes it does

I just had to reply to this.

I'm tech savvy, but not so when it comes to phones, so i spent weeks reading up on here. No way could I do what you guys do, but I read enough to not brick my phone.

I followed one of the guides, phone worked but was buggy.

Then followed another guide, installed a different ROM and phone is great. Activated via online chat with microsoft rep who was very patient and helpful as I originally entered code using caps, should all be lower case.

I now have a fully functional wp7 device, bing maps works very quick, hotmail contacts sync constantly, zune music sync is flawless, battery now actually lasts more than a full day (used to barely do that on wm6.5) and now I even have a full res camera too, nothing wrong at all with wp7 on my phone.

Every once in a while it stops accessing my apps, but to be honest my hd2 already had the occasional quirk. A quick reboot fixes that (and it is quick).

I bought a 16gb class 2 sandisk sd card from amazon for £16 as I read that is likely to work. Not had an issue with it.

If you read around and understand it takes a little work (though not that much) then having wp7 on an hd2 is really good.

The only thing I'm missing is turn by turn with voice satnav, but that's missing from wp7 itself and will hopefully be resolved legitimately soon.

Sorry for the long post, but I really felt like I needed to comment.

by the way, thanks to all you guys for the amazing work you've done, allowing me to post the above.

4. Not in my experience

5. I live in the U.S. enough said.

You are still forgetting the internet sharing, which doesnt exist on WP7, which was one of the main reasons I bought the HD2. Also you have the file explorer, which was also very nice. I could be wrong, but I don't think you can download files directly from the internet, either in WP7; didn't have long enough to try it.

Bottom line: WP7 is just a glorified iPhone, Windows Mobile gives you true freedom.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
I absolutely love WP7 on my HD2. Sure there are a few....I mean VERY few things I miss from WinMo, but not enough to revert back or go to android (bleh). I actually have a phone that works now, lol! The main thing I miss from WinMo on HD2 is the camera. Other than that, I'm EXTREMELY happy with WP7. And getting the activation code & unlocking the phone are so easy, it wouldn't deter any real poweruser. Plus I love the challenge of learning/hacking a new OS, especially one that's a challenge.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
i agree that WM is an amazing OS, it was seriously hampered by the networks and very poor driver support though, IF we had the correct drivers for the graphics it would rival WP7 and Android.

However, that is not the case, so whilst WM remains a beast of an OS that can do almost anything its not got a good UI and its social intigration isnt as good.

which is exactly why i want to dual boot WM and WP7, at the moment i have to take my old Touch HD around if i wish to use WM which isnt ideal

To say WP7 is like an iPhone isnt completely correct, its similar yes, are targeted to the same demographic but after using an iphone and android for quite a long time, you wont find me moving back.

If they cant get WM to dual boot with WP7 i would love WP7 to have a sandboxed WM environment to allow me to run WM apps or even better as devices get more powerful with dual cores to have an Emulated WM OS

The potential for WP7 is massive, we can only hope they take WM and somehow shove its functionality in to WP7, sand boxed for course to maintain OS integrity, which unfortunatly is what WM failed at.

The carriers buggered it for WM, and MS got the blame for it, what people dont realise is that MS had little to do with what happened to MS, other than its inaction and sorting it out that is!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Ared777:
yeah

^agreed. I'm waiting for someone to release (probably cotulla) to release WM6.5 or WP7 for an SD card and just boot into whichever system is necessary. WP7 would probably be my primary because it is less buggy, easier to use, and has much better apps. Also I agree with you that they should have put WM functionality into WP7, because WM was probably the closest mobile OS to an actual computer OS, because it had the file explorer, also you can install programs from anywhere, not just Marketplace. That was what really disappointed me about WP7, and also it didn't have internet sharing, which was such a great feature! All you had to do was tap the button, plug it into your computer, and click connect and within 2 minutes you were getting internet on your PC through your phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tlerner:
Actually, if properly installed WP7 runs better than its native WinMo 6.5, and much better than Android!

I have been using it for the last few months without glitches, bugs, etc. :)

It is simple, all your basics (texts, emails, contacts, IE) are easily accessible; typing on it is better than anything out there (including Iphone), very simple and intuitive graphics.

However, when you get into 'hubs' and apps WP7's sheer graphic beauty comes forward. And this is what makes it a great OS, simple for every day use (too many screens and widgets in Android come to mind as something I wish to avoid), and beautiful when you get deeper into it!

Also, it is very FAST and stable!

There is also something called Touch Explorer which is same as File Explorer in WM6.5.

You can also download Navigo for your navigational needs, and may I tell you it runs perfectly and is very accurate.

There is a plethora of apps here on XDA which you can download onto your unlocked HD2 (an advantage over native devices) just do some research and you will have everything you had on your old WM6.5.

Do you remember the Voice Commander on the old OS, you had to reinstall it every time you flashed a ROM, it was slow, and leggy. On WP7 is fast and very accurate.

My advice is to properly flash this OS, use it for a month and you will not revert to WM or Android.

Also, it would not hurt to see the upcoming Mango update (go to Youtube) to see in which direction this OS is moving.

Microsoft did not enter the mobile market with this OS to play, it came to kill.
